Washington Park, Oregon

These snaps are of Washington Park, Oregon taken in the spring of 2008. Park is a classic urban park, sprawling over about 140 acres. The park encompasses Japanese Gardens, Oregon Zoo, World Forestry Center Discovery Museum, Portland Children's Museum, International Rose Test Gardens, and Hoyt Arboretum which offers miles of hiking trails. It also contains memorials for the Korean and Vietnam Wars, a Holocaust memorial and a Lewis and Clark memorial. Beautiful view of Portland downtown and Mount Hood.

Rose Garden, Portland, Oregon

These snaps are of Rose Garden, Portland, Oregon taken in the month of June 2008. This time of the year is the best time to visit the garden. The Portland Rose Garden is one of the oldest continually running rose test gardens in the United States and throughout the world. The Rose Garden Portland Oregon features multiple gardens with many kinds of flowers, though of course roses are the most prominent. The garden features over 7,000 plants every year, representing over 500 varieties of roses and botanicals.The last picture shows the clear view of downtown Portland on a beautiful summer day and the tall building is near where my place of work is.
