On Saturday morning, we had about a dozen folks at the Garden of Gentle \Breeze, a newly opened Japanese garden here in Corvallis, for the 2012 Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk. This year there were over 1,300 walk locations around the world with more than 32,000 registered walkers.
After four months of essentially no measurable rain here in the Willamette Valley, the dry spell gave way to rain most of the day on Friday. And it didn’t look all that promising for Saturday. But, as it turned out, the weather was mild during the walk – and dare I say, it was a pleasant morning?
None of these images will likely make the medals podium – but I thought I’d share a few from the morning.
The gardens are closed now for the winter, but next spring, if you happen to be in the Willamette Valley and like strolling through gardens, put this stop on your list.

Great job organizing once again Jones! It was nice to see a new and unique location. My favorite is the second to last image. Love the focus on the tree with the lantern in the background. All of these are nice!
Great photos. I did a SKWW Photowalk here in Reno, Nevada, this weekend. Fun stuff! If you are on Facebook, I have some of the photos there … https://www.facebook.com/GingerleaPhotography
