I haven’t

Japanese’s Garden in Portland

so much beauty in one place in a long time and as I stand here looking at all the colors and just wonder what it would be like to see this almost everyday when the weather is good.

To sit underneath this tree, to sketch this tree to take a great picture of this tree to be able to just say I saw this tree.

The experience alone would be worth seeing and being in the moment when you thought you had seen it all.

But, this tree proved you wrong and no matter how much you tried to draw, paint this tree it just never really shined the beautiful way this tree does captured by cameras but your eyes will not ever forget it.
