Birdseed Mystery
03 weeks ago
Guest photographer John Brandt found these hanging birdseed feeders on the trees along a path at Pioneer Park. He was wondering about them…
These things are hanging from most of the trees lining everybody’s favorite walkway in Pioneer Park. My source for bird lore says our birds don’t like the red things in these bird cookies anyway. I’m thinking of taking a nibble myself just to see for myself. I do applaud the impulse however…
I don’t have the foggiest idea of how to properly feed birds. I’ve looked it up in the past and just ended up confused. Interesting subject. Thanks, John!

This is why I love spring — it’s so danged colorful. The bright pink trees in front of the Jordan Bridge at Pioneer Park couldn’t have been prettier yesterday.
I took a similar photo last year, but from further back along the path.
You Don’t Come Around Anymore

I actually managed to get out and take a few photos yesterday. This one’s of some oak trees at Neitling Park.

This little guy — not sure if it’s a hoverfly or a bee, though I would guess a hoverfly — was hanging out on a lawn daisy at Neitling Park the other day. It was quite tolerant of me sticking my camera in its face long enough for me to get this shot, then it crawled to the underside of the flower to hide.

The Jordan Bridge, a covered bridge at Pioneer Park, is probably my favorite Stayton landmark. I’ve taken and/or posted pictures from others of it any number of times. Of course, Stayton is pretty small, which does narrow down the field, but still… it’s awesome.
The pink tree blossoms across the street at Neitling Park do a nice job of framing the bridge. I posted a similar photo to this back in 2009, but this new one was taken at a lower angle, so it’s totally different. But still similar. In a different way. And I went with a warmer color balance, which may or may not be better. Or just different. Differently better. Badly different. Hmm.
Plus! There’s a bonus photo at right, so click on it to see the bridge from a different perspective.

This dog was chasing after tennis balls at Neitling Park the other day. It’s hard to tell, but he has a ball in his mouth in the photo.

I had thought I’d missed these blossoms blooming at Neitling Park. Sometimes, being wrong is a good thing. This was taken on May 1st, so I’m not sure if the blossoms are still there now.
Finally Finding Spring

I took this photo at Neitling Park on the 1st, then forgot to post it here. I hope the trees still look like this… blossom trees can change pretty quickly.
