One of the surprise locations we chanced upon during our Oregon summer road trip was the Portland Rose Garden. We reached about an hour after sunrise and since the sunrise was at 5 am we had a lot of time to browse the garden before another admirer walked in. Moreover, the early morning light was lighting the flowers perfectly.

I had a great time walking around with my macro lens and the Nikon D500, trying out interesting angles to frame the shot. Hope Y'all like this one.

A throwback shot from an amazing morning we spent at the Portland International Rose garden at Washington Park last summer. One of the perks of working for my employer is the week long shut downs that we get twice a year. Even though they are allotted during the peak holiday season usually, it’s a welcome break from the corporate hot pot.

Last year we planned a trip to one of our favorite state in west coast, Oregon. We spent quite a while exploring some of the amazing hiking trails and waterfalls that Oregon is famous for. But one of the best day of the trip was the day we spend exploring Washington park after our sunrise shot got washed out due to cloudy skies.
