A few pictures from a couple other places we have visited this summer...Pittock Mansion in Portland; and Mary's Peak in Corvallis.
The mansion in the morning. We were there with an Audubon birding group. Saw many birds, but didn't get good snaps of them. Lovely morning to be out in the sun.
A path around the mansion.
Next up, Mary's Peak. This is the highest peak of the coast range and on a clear day you have a wonderful view of many of the Cascade Mountains. Unfortunately, although the day was sunny, the view as hazy and our view of other mountains was not so good. We could make out the Three Sisters and others, but not a good photo opportunity.
One of the trails around the peak.
The rocks and flowers at the top.
And a beautiful butterfly among the flowers. These were both nice places to visit and a great way to get into the wonderful, but brief, Western Oregon summer weather.
