The ORS Annual Picnic at Pittock was so fun this year!
The fabulous Portland Landmark overlooks the valley and the city of portland. This french-chateau style building was built a hundred years later than our desired period, but nevertheless, it's a lovely site for our picnic that feels very appropriate.
ORS Founder Stephanie in her troublesome gown and a borrowed hat (which she almost stole because she loved it so much).
A Seurat painting in the making?
Ensconced in the shade of the European Beech, we feast.
And some more romantic things happen as well. ;). The always beautiful and elegant Lady of Portland House offers her dashing husband a sumptuous stemmed cherry. (photos stolen from Aaron Marks, Stephanie Robertson and Charlotte Cunningham's facebook albums!)
Some not-so period texting.
Chef Steph R's beautiful array of delicious treats.

And just for some more fun....
Whenever I stumble on a relevant link or movie that I know will make a Janeite or Regency fan laugh or smile, I am compelled to post it. So I end this post with this little thing that's gone viral...
ORS Central Valley also hosted a picnic on Sunday. Details will be posted on the ORS Central blog soon!
