The Garden of the Bishop’s Close

I am FINALLY posting more pictures of our girls’ weekend in Portland. I know, about time.

On our first afternoon we decided to take advantage of the sunshine and visit The Garden of the Bishop’s Close at Elk Rock in Lake Oswego. We have a slight fascination with the landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, and this house was sighted by John Olmsted, of the Olmsted Brothers Landscape Architects firm, to take advantage of the view of Mt. Hood. It also overlooks the Willamette River.
