Looking Into The Garden

This beautiful stained glass is embedded into a garden gate. The gate leads to a cool front yard and beach house. You can see plants, flowers and an old gas pump through the glass.

The setting is in Neskowin...a cool community on the Oregon Coast! This is not the only stained glass built into a fence either. There are a smattering of artistic stained glass throughout the entire fence.

Hiding In The Garden Wall Art

This is a colorful and beautiful setting is in Schreiner's Iris Gardens, located in Salem, Oregon. One of the best Iris farms in the country!

You are invited to sit on the green bench and hide among the Irises, a "garden of tranquility". No one is going to know you are there but you!

Close you eyes, stretch your legs out, smell the flowers and, take in what life is all about!

The Blue Rhododendron

Rhododendrons are extremely beautiful plants, flowers and come in a variety of colors. The blue rhody here was transformed into abstract form.

Not so much the bloom itself but, the background. It was photographed at a bed and breakfast just outside of Waldport on the Oregon Coast.

Bicycle Garden Art

This "Bicycle" sits in a garden setting in Cottage Grove, Oregon in the Pacific Northwest and just sitting there in a garden has turned this bike, complete with basket, into a work of art.

For me, it is a revisited setting. The bike was enshrined there some three years ago when I was in Cottage Grove. No new moss was noticed however, the green vegetation is starting to become more entwined with the bicycle.

It is early in the morning and the sun is starting to shine through. It was the start of a beautiful day!

Japanese Gardens Portland -Part 6

This will be the final post for the Japanese Gardens in Portland, Oregon until I can get up there and do it again.  Maybe springtime...what a marvelous place!

The first photo was taken with a fish-eye lens.  That's why it looks so bent.  Hey, you have to change things up ever once in awhile.

I used a Pentax DSLR and also a Canon Elph 300 for some of the photos.  Most photos are High Dynamic Range (HDR) processed through Photomatix software.

Anyway, enjoy!

I spent a fascinating Sunday morning photographing one of the most beautiful places on earth. That being the Japanese Gardens in Portland, Oregon.

They are magnificent to say the least. I just hope that my photography reflects some of the beauty of this place.


Like a lot of my photography I convert my shots through the High Dynamic Range (HDR) process which brings out more detail.
