Just beautiful.

It IS Spring

Headed to the water at Pringle Park Plaza, downtown.

Graceful

On the lake at Spinnaker Point, south of McGilchrist, near the airport. Stone Quarry Lake, which started life as a gravel pit, is a popular spot for Canadian Geese and other migratory birds.

Afternoon Snack

Between the Agriculture and the Veteran's Buildings, State workers take their afternoon break to feed the waterfowl that enjoy Mill Creek as it meanders through town on it's way to the Willamette River.

Geese Crossing

A large contingent of geese live on E. State Street at Airport Road and cross daily from along the bank by Mill Creek in front of the state prison to the yard in front of the State Highway Division campus. They will gather along side the road and wait for vehicles to stop, then cross in a bunch. Drivers are usually courteous. The building in the photo is the State Lottery, built in 1996.
