The Portland Botanical Gardens

It was a really beautiful day today in Oregon so I looked up directions to ride to the Portland Botanical Rose Gardens. It was only a short ride but proved to be well worth the trip. There's no cost to enter the gardens & wander around at your own pace. The gardens hold a huge variety of beautiful rose bushes loaded with dozens of varieties of very colorful roses. I brought both my DSLR & Point & Shoot for this shoot. There were grass paths between the rows of rose bushes so you cold literally walk right up & touch the roses. I had to persuade a few bugs to relcate before shooting the photos. I hope you enjoy them.

beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

I wish I could have been there just to smell them, thanks for taking time to post

Walking between the row after row of roses the smell was awesome.

Great photos!

Wonderful pictures, Bob. My wife and I visited the gardens back in the late '80s. Where's the obligatory "Mt. Hood in the distance" shot?
