At last, that glowing ball in the sky has returned for brief visits. fine.A.lee. During one spell of sun I took a trip to Lan Su Chinese Gardens in Old Town Chinatown in Portland. This is a sweet spot – worth getting a guided tour to tell you about how they snagged trees out of yards around town and brought some great old river rocks over from China.

Getting to be the glowy hour. Nice colors, more river rock
The Garden 'rooms' are connected by cool keyhole doorways
I only write captions 'cause I like the boarder around the pictures
Twisty branches
Each window has a different pattern of some significance - actually, I didn't notice it until just now but this looks a little nazi -- or maybe it's the 'sun wheel' of the bronze age
