Today was a good day. Barbara and I drove up to the Pittock Mansion that over looks Portland. We shot many photos. Mine would have been better but it doesn't help when the batteries in my good camera died on pic number two. Of course the spares were dead as well. Note to self... charge them all the night before. Still the outdoor shots with the small camera were ok and it was perfect weather to stroll around the estate. Learned some of the history about the family and what they meant to the early days of Portland. Will most certainly go back when the roses are in bloom.
