Alton Baker Park Blossoms Forth
The trees in Alton Baker Park are in bloom. But the blossoms won't last long. The rain will knock them off. But at least they are gorgeous right now.

A Springtime Song
This song sparrow was singing up a storm at Delta Ponds

Neighborhood Backyard
I was photographing some pretty flowers in a nearby front yard when a nice lady came walking up the street. She asked if I would like to see the backyard. By coincidence, I stopped to take pictures just as the owner came home. I accepted the invitation and made this photo of her beautiful backyard, among other images. I was told I could come by and shoot pictures in the yard anytime. While back there I also met her husband, who worked as a photographer for several years for a local studio. It was a fun experience.

Industrial
The Kingsford Briquet Plant in Springfield, Oregon. It was raining when I went out and got this picture. Now that I am home there is blue sky as I look out the window.
Guess I was out too early. Oh well, I was up early anyway.

Didn't Scare Me!
I found this 'artpiece' on the University of Oregon campus on today's early morning's walk. It was standing next to the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art. It can't be 'Bigfoot', can it?

Faded Glory
Unfortunately, this Camellia was kissed by a recent frost. But it is still beautiful, even if a bit faded.

Osprey and Cargo
This osprey is heading back to its nest at Delta Ponds with building material.
As I stood looking up at the nest I could just barely see another osprey.

Mount Washington
This is Mount Washington in the Oregon Cascades. In the foreground you will notice the trees showing evidence of a forest fire in recent years.

April Sunset
It's hard to get a good image of a sunset unless I drive a distance from the house. But I managed to get this shot from our backyard.

Evening in the High Cascades
The late sun casts some beautiful light in the mountains. Suttle Lake lies below in the foreground.
I just love being in the mountains at any time of day.
