Mingus Park, Coos Bay, Oregon

(Coos Bay Oregon)

This park is in the city of Coos Bay about a 10 minute drive from our house. Its a beautiful city park very well kept up.... The front of the park has a large pond with ducks, geese and swans,they raise their families there... it is stocked with small fish for the birds, sea gulls also spend a lot of time there , Coos Bay is right next to the sea.

There is a nice family area with playgrounds for the kids, picnic tables and benches all around the park. Again dogs are on leash and doggie bags are provided at baggie dispencers through out the park.

The northern area of the park has more trees and smaller lakes and streams with many flowers and greenery, paths leading all around the park are paved. this area is where I take most of the pictures, we got these pictures just a week ago and we arrived shortly after 9 am so the sunlight was filtering through the trees. Made very nice pictures.

Editors Note:
Now I know some of my readers will not resist these! If you are a landscape painter, Monet would be jealous of these gardens. Hopefully one of these beautiful scenes will spark the fire of excitement and nudge someone into painting it!

Thanks again for sharing!
