Magic Gardens in Autumn by taffy

Magic Gardens in Autumn

Went for a lovely walk around the Lewis & Clark college campus. What an idyllic place! This is on campus near a reflecting pool (drained at the moment) that provides an image of Mt Hood when the mountain is 'out'.
I hope everyone in the US had a lovely Thanksgiving with family or friends or simply giving thanks.
Looks really lovely in the light. Is that frost on the ground and roof?

It certainly looks very lush and I like the purple pillars on the pavilion. Such a pretty shot.

Wow how lucky the students are to have these beautiful grounds surrounding them! Looks like a sprinkling of snow too -,perfect for a photo!

@nickspicsnz . @pamknowler thanks! It is frost, Nick. Portland is unusually cold making for some great frost in the morning light.

@taffy Sadly, but gladly, youngest is a senior and she's thinking of leaving Portland after graduation. I will sooooo miss my frequent visits, but with the Japanese Garden renovation completion scheduled for 2017 I will definitely be back, though my excuse to wander the Lewis and Clark campus will be gone.

What a lovely setting for a college campus. It's like a botanical gardens.

TR
I get that magical feel too, must be the purple. LOL
November 28th, 2015  
@lyndemc The students there are so fortunate! It is the kind of college campus that movies are made of but so few actually get to attend. I was very impressed with the surroundings. And my niece is learning so much there!
November 28th, 2015  
Looks a glorious garden to wander around, Lucky students
November 28th, 2015  
Beautiful capture.
November 28th, 2015  
Lovely place for a walk Taffy, is that frost?
November 29th, 2015  
Beautiful colors, textures, light and comp. What a lovely garden! You are in PORTLAND, OREGON? OH my! I wish I was home so we could meet up! Are you meeting up with 365'ers there? How did I miss that. Have a wonderful time...it is a beautiful city!
November 29th, 2015  
@eyesmile Portland has been beautiful!! It's quite amazing to have had so many days of sun. I wish you were here as well -- but with my nephew and his family here, we'll be back at least once a year, I suspect. I'm meeting with Jane Pittenger on Monday, and here all day Tuesday as well with minimal plans other than being ready to fly out. Who lives here that I should contact, even though it's last minute. I know you do...but haven't kept track of who else.
November 29th, 2015  
What a beautiful garden!

Beautiful, Taffy. So glad the long weekend weather was sunny for you!
