I picked up this beautiful little book at the Portland Japanese Garden's Urban Bonsai exhibit last month. Both my boyfriend and the cashier at the gift shop made fun of me for buying a book I can't actually read, but really, You don't need to be able to read it to enjoy the beautiful photos and design. I love the step by step photos and watching the tiny landscapes come together.

The Portland Japanese Garden is one of the most visited places in the city, but on gloomy weekdays it can still be very tranquil. They're having a nice exhibit now: Urban Green: Small Trees for Small Spaces
