Halloween at the Japanese Gardens

Every year I've been wanting to go see the Portland Japanese Gardens as Autumn hits... although we've never made it until this year. It was hard to wait until the leaves were changing when we had such gorgeous weather before all the rain hit. Well, yesterday, Halloween, just happened to be a dry day even with a few patches of blue sky. Hard to believe after such a gray rainy day today. We we not the only ones who had the idea to go to the gardens, but either way it was great to see all the fall colors, I love the Japanese Maples... the only time I like shades of orange! Here are a few pics from our outing.
