Pittock Mansion, Sept. 2009



Hi-

The Smithsonian offered Free Museum Day to the public. My daughter and I took advantage of the invitation by visiting Pittock Mansion that overlooks Portland, Oregon. The weather was perfect for seeing the incoming autumn colors and a glance of Mt. Hood in the distance.

Pittock Mansion is noted for it's historic preservation. For more information on this museum see pittockmansion.org

Oregon Farm



Hi-

A new exhibit opened at The Oregon Zoo called "Predators of the Serengeti." Many zoo spectators were in attendance during this grand opening. The exhibit is worth seeing. I could see some of the latest concepts in show casing animals.

This photo is one that I took when leaving the zoo. Past the train tracks is a place called the Oregon Farm. The garden is in full gear with the use of zoo composting.

So many more things to do at the Oregon Zoo.
