Come with us for a photoshoot with a new camera using Portland's beautiful Japanese Garden as the setting. This was a double win- win since we have never been to the gardens in all the years we've lived in the Pacific Northwest.

What a great choice this turned out to be. The gardens are wonderful, yes even in winter! A special display of Netsuke carvings at the gardens right now was icing on the cake.

While we decided in the end to not keep the camera, we still came out on top. Returning to the gardens for the spring bloom to do another photoshoot will be our pleasure.

Enjoy the sights.
