now my feet won't touch the ground

this past weekend was so beautiful we just had to get out of the house, but we were pretty sore from tennis and canoeing and tired of our usual hiking spots, so we decided to try something new: the crystal springs rhododendron garden in southeast portland. and holy crap i'm so glad we did!

i'd avoided it because of the whopping $3 to get in (it's free on tuesdays and wednesdays), even though i've paid more for the japanese and chinese gardens... and it was amazing!! huge and gorgeous (especially this time of year), full of ponds, bridges, waterfalls, gorgeous ducks and geese, and the flowers - wow! not just rhododendrons either (even though there was literally a rainbow of those), they had pretty much everything you can think of! seriously i was blown away. i can't wait to go back!!
