Yesterday was a beautiful spring day in Portland, the warm sunshine was enticing us to spend more time out. We had convinced Ian and Janel to tag come with us to the Japanese Garden in the hope to see the Sakura trees all pink (they were originally headed for the Chinese Garden). Once we got there I was a bit disappointed because there was only one Sakura flowering in the entire garden, but it seemed we came during the most popular day of the year. The garden was swarmed by photographers with tripods and SLR, snapping every corner of the peaceful garden to death. Ian and myself proceeded to imitate them while M and J were going around enjoying the place.
The light was great in the shady areas. It looks quieter on the pictures than it actually was unfortunately.
The Camelias were all out flowering.
We finished the afternoon in the Rose Garden, unfortunately the roses had just been pruned, but it was still enjoyable as we were surrounded by all the other flowers.
We finished the day going to the theater to watch Alice in Wonderland (Johnny Depp is great there, as usual).

About time ;). Your photo of the Sakura tree turned out a lot better than mine!
The Japanese Garden is really a beautiful place.

Magnifique Sakura, d'accord avec Ian!
