Back when the Bobos could go-go... Well we went-went to an audition yesterday all together for a print shoot and that went wonderfully! Thank you Lord! 🙏🏼 Although #ZadokPsalm's smile still isn't quite 😁... More like ����. Literally, it looks like that emoji lol. But he nailed the serious look and the funny face! Just gotta find the middle ground. Proud of him and #PrayerNoelle for being the pros they are! 👏🏼 #acting #oldzoo #family #ChangGang (at Griffith Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCF218gMvbB/?igshid=18updtny8f8iq

Peeking through the willows breathlessly I wait, In a field of fragrant flowers prepared to meet my fate. As you approach I weaken, and lie there in the field, Visibly I'm shaken, as I begin to yield. You touch my face so gently, as a butterfly might perch, Finding my heartbeat quickens, as you begin to search. Breasts are budding now, as your fingers nimbly stress, No denying my responses to the powers you possess. Tracing lines and lingering, you begin your move again, Traveling deliberately; You are prepared to win. Sweet nectar flows within me, the potion you have made, As you tilt to sample, my resistance it does fade. You look into my eyes and see the sparkle there, Then I return the marvel, and lie unafraid right here. We join and work with passion and sweetness unsurpassed, We writhe and move as one, 'til we reach our peek at last. We wrap ourselves in splendor; this is one playful game we play, As we heighten our awareness of lovemaking every day. Then suddenly cold sweat wakes from my dream in sudden fear; It’s not me that savors every moment, but him that you hold near. ~ #reeds #waterplants #🌾 #lake #garden #OldZoo #dragonfly #insect #Sunset #Endofday #🌅 #dusk #sky #SkyPorn #PaintedSky #moon #🌔 #miami #KeyBiscayne #Florida #PoemOfTheDay #poetry #📝📆 #PictureOfTheDay #PhotoOfTheDay #📷📆 #CTSelf (at Biscayne Gardens, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B64HSfyBYoZ/?igshid=2cpqffsz5y3b

Looking Back at Where We’ve Been: Reflection and Appreciation

The Pavilion: 1980

The Garden Pavilion which was in Professor Tono’s original plan was not fully completed until 1980. It was dedicated on the same day Mount St. Helens erupted on May 18, 1980. The opening of the Pavilion marked a pivotal time in the Garden’s history because we transformed from simply being a Japanese garden to a public experience with art and cultural programming.

The Antique Gate: 1976

Photo caption: The antique gate was installed in 1976, it sat in a crate for some time as it was originally meant to be located by the pavilion. It was assembled in its current location just above the parking area in 1976.

Sand and Stone Garden: 1967

Photo caption: Professor Takuma Tono placing stones in the Sand and Stone Garden. The stones came from Wapinitia Pass near Warm Springs, OR.

The Garden Shuttle: 1979

Photo caption: The original Japanese Garden Society shuttle, this photo was taken in 1979. The Garden currently operates two shuttles. 

The Kashintei Tea House: 1968

Photo caption: The Kashintei Tea House was constructed in Japan, shipped in pieces and reassembled in the Garden in 1968.

______________________________________________________________

Without question, there are many exciting changes coming to the Garden this year. But before we move forward, let’s first stop, look back, and recognize where we’ve been.

The Portland Japanese Garden was inspired in the late 1950’s by a group of visionary Portland citizens. Their reasons for building a Japanese garden were twofold: providing the citizens of Portland with a garden of great beauty and serenity, while forging a healing connection to Japan on the heels of World War II.

The founders conceived the idea of building a Japanese garden on the site of the old Zoo in Washington Park. The site was dedicated in 1961 and Professor Takuma Tono of Tokyo Agricultural University was retained to design the Garden.

Professor Tono’s plan with five different garden styles was quite a departure from gardens in Japan which typically follow one singular style. His intention was to represent different historical developments in Japanese garden architecture and through that communicate Japanese culture.

In January 1963, the Japanese Garden Society of Oregon was formed and in 1967, the Garden formally opened to the public for the summer. Admission was $.50 for adults and $.25 for students. That year, just over 28,000 people came before the Garden closed for the winter.

Big girl on our hands. 😭 You are 19 months old today. And oh my goodness, every day you bring your mama and papa so much joy. But the thing you’ve started doing this last month that probably warms my heart the most-is when you come in to wake me up, walk to my side of the bed, and hand me my glasses. ❤️ Her top and shorts are vintage 70s from @bohemebabes #ginnymadds . . . #19monthsold #toddlerlife #toddlersofinstagram #parenthood #motherhood #childhood #toddlerstyle #vintagestyle #oldzoo #secondhand #70sstyle #mygirl #loveofmylife #fujixt10 #sundayfunday #whatshewore (at Los Angeles Old Zoo Ruins) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDrxf_4pfYE/?igshid=qiukb8307j7v

Hidden Dangers of mowing around an old zoo property = hidden high tensile, super-strength electric fence wire in the y’all grass. It took less than two seconds for me to react & shut down the mower blades and an hour to correct the issue. #Mischiefmanaged #Electricfence #hiddendangers #wrightmowers #standerx #boltcutters #diytimm #oldzoo (at Old Game Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-rgNhWpc__/?igshid=m8namu4ao5yq
