		<description><![CDATA[Several of the images I posted in my gallery of photographs from the Portland Japanese Garden were completed using High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDR) techniques. I&#8217;ve mentioned this a few times and posted a bit about it when I first started exploring the techniques. There are lots of tutorial articles online and books (I&#8217;ve recently&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think the highlight of my trip to Portland was the Portland Japanese Garden. I&#8217;ve long loved the peacefulness and beauty of Japanese gardens, and this one was no exception. Built over several acres and including five different traditional garden types, it is wonderful to wonder through the meandering paths with the discovery of new&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On my recent trip to Portland, Oregon, I visited the International Rose Test Garden. The garden has 4.5 acres of rose plantings, with over 500 varieties and several thousand rose plants. The variation in color and shape of the roses is amazing, the the blooms are simply beautiful. Unfortunately, photographs will never capture the lovely&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today we went to the Portland Art Museum and enjoyed walking through the galleries.  The highlight was an exhibition of prints and related materials by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher. It was a treat. I&#8217;ve long been fascinated by his art, especially his highly geometric work, including his tessellations, and the way he plays&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gertrude Stein was wrong. &#8220;A rose is a rose is a rose,&#8221; she said. Well, I can verify that she was simply incorrect. A rose is not a rose. They come in so many varied colors and shapes, but still all roses. One has this abundantly verified when one visits Portland&#8217;s International Rose Test Garden.&#8230;]]></description>
