A Wonderful Morning

We have wanted to visit the Oregon Garden (which is only 10-15 minutes away from Salem) for quite some time now. The last few days have been incredibly hot, but this was one of the remaining weekends that we had open to get out there before the fall season hits. We decided to head out in the morning before it had the chance to get really hot. It was a great morning!! We were there just before 9:00 a.m., and there were only a couple other people out. After spending a couple of hours there, it was beginning to get much warmer, but we had been able to essentially see everything. I really enjoy taking pictures of flowers, so here is a sampling. I have many more to go through and edit.
