April, 2014 in Portland, Oregon

Peter and Amanda Putnam had traveled West, Gil and Mediha Saliba were up from California, and Dave and Mona Cryan were down from Seattle.    A brief  gathering at   Lake Oswego,  and a guided tour of The Japanese Garden in Portland's Washington Park.

A Walking Tour of Lake Oswego, and of Washington Park, Portland

Portland's Japanese Rose Garden.  We had a Docent telling about it.  We learned that the flowering trees are just Seasonal Frosting.

The  Garden is  really all about the Greenery, the water and the stones.

 Oh.  And there were the people involved with our all too brief gathering on that Spring Weekend.  Charles, the Putnams'  Artist friend with the waterfront Condo in Lake Oswego....

And Peter and Amanda Putnam, and Gil and Madiha Saliba.    It was a very nice weekend!
