As a somewhat Halloween treat, I checked out Mike Bennett's Crypto-Zoo: Museum of Mystery!
Once again, I was impressed by what Mike Bennett and his team have created to bring Whimsy and Wonder into people's lives. I definitely wished I had more time to explore and read everything at a more leisurely pace. I loved hearing other people's amazement. I even bought something at the Cabin of Curiosities gift shop which I might share later since it seemed like it might be a fun Artist Date activity
Went to another part of Portland (and I just realized I've been interchanging Portland for Multnomah County so people can have a better reference to where these places are located if that makes sense) that I haven't really taken time to explore aside from if it has a library. In this case, I went to Fairview.
I walked the Salish Ponds City Trail. One of the reasons I wanted to go here was that there was a covered bridge- Alex Brown's Bridge- and you know I love bridges.
The trail leads to two ponds. East Salish Pond is where the ducks hang out. West Salish Pond is a popular for fishing.
Someone recently set up this cool Free Tiny Toy Shop!
I enjoyed walking past this Halloween decorated house with its own pumpkin patch. I loved the dreamcatchers on the trees.
It's been kind of cool what I've discovered strolling through Google Maps. I didn't even know there was a Japanese Garden out in Gresham.
Tsuru Island was like a secret garden of sorts. Part of Main City Park, it was a nice little place to explore.
