Elk Rock Garden at Bishop's Close

We visited Elk Rock Garden in SW Portland. The weather here is amazing at the moment. Cold, clear and frosty. Despite the chill, the earliest signs of spring are beginning to show through

New Years Day 2013

On New Years Day we took a brisk constitutional on the Wildwood Trail in Forest Park, ending at Pittock Mansion, armed with a flask of warm adventure stew and a picnic blanket. We then spent the evening with a roaring fire, undertaking some restful chores
