Returning for one final travel post on Portland, Oregon’s The Grotto that I previously touched upon. This incredible place of gardens that is actually more like a well manicured forest. The gardens sit on a plateau way above the entry grotto and church (photos from that post were presented on 12/16/18). Here I am again to show just a few more photos.
Surprises around every turn in the paths, including this labyrinth. What a wonderful place to walk a labyrinth, and do a little meditation amongst this display of nature that tells me there is a higher power.
Actually this whole place is a meditation in the glory of nature.
Some autumn colors remained when I visited in late November, and I was grateful to see just a few hints of this, wishing that I had scheduled my trip for a little earlier in the season.
Like a little cabin in the woods, this little chapel was one of those little surprises.
I will close off with this set of photos here on Sundays and post more here and there on my Wordless Wednesdays.
The Sunday Traveler will be taking a few weeks away again, and will be out gathering more post materials as I travel back to San Antonio, Texas to visit friends. I’ll be back in about three weeks time.
Beautifully captured, Angeline! 🙂 I love Portland.

I like the labyrinth. And the little red chapel also. Enjoy the warmer weather in San Antone. I lived there once, briefly. In a barracks. While in boot camp. Stressful memories from what is probably a great city.
