| This place has really interesting rocks! |
Wow! A tree that is just my size. |
The paving stones are all perfect. Somebody has been busy. |
|
|
|
| The tea house is just lovely in the sunshine. |
Look at all this carving. They should have been carving sisters for ME! |
Tranquil beauty and harmony and some really nice little houses! |

| This guy was trying to look fierce, but he didn't fool me! |
I could have strolled across this bridge all afternoon but my personal tour guide was focused on "progress". |
A nice little meditation grove. Very comfy if you don't mind a damp bottom. |
|
|
|
| Here's a rock garden just my size. |
This plant is called the Flying Dragon. I looked for Sleeping Beauty somewhere within its branches - but found only more thorns! |
This rock is my size, too! The rocks were brought all the way from China. |

|
| I love this tree - it has a built-in Hitty chair. |
The waterfall made enough noise to drown out the noise of the city that surrounds the garden. It's right in the middle of downtown Portland. |
What a magical spot. I'm surprised I didn't find more six-inch people around here. The place has obviously been designed for us. |

|
| Flowering crab apples. Maybe I should bake a pie... |
This little teapot wanted to dance. |
My personal tour guide made every effort to get me close to the view. I was preparing for the butterfly stroke. |

|
| We all thought the waterfall was the most entertaining spot. |
The koi were nice but not as big as the ones in the Japanese Garden. This place is only a few years old and the koi are still growing. |
The buildings were lovely. I tried to talk my hostess into installing dragons on her roof. Her eyebrow did something funny. |
|
|
|
| The buildings are simply charming. |
Chinese tree props are a little more delicate than their Japanese counterparts. |
This is where I want to live. Perfect for a modest wooden doll of conservative taste. |

|
|
| The weeping willow really should have been painted on a plate. |
This is a very old wisteria. They must be very firm with it to keep it in the pot! |
A lovely visit - we walk away full of exotic images and new thoughts... How CAN I get a lease on that little house? |

I brought home my very own Steppe Pony. |
