Willow Creek Park is a tranquil, 65-acre facility in Saginaw that contains a two-and-a-half mile jogging and bicycle path, numerous covered picnic sites, tennis, volleyball and basketball courts and several playground areas. Most evenings you’ll find people walking their dogs, kids flying their kites or playing with their friends — all unwinding after a busy day.









March 19 at Willow Creek Park in Saginaw. This concert was the first of the city's
Masterworks Free Concert Series.



the large crowd of people( about 200) gathered around the open pavilion They came to see the first Masterworks Free Concert Series staged by the city of Saginaw Recreation and Community Services Department.
All that jazz -- The Local HS Jazz band
"Jazz bands don’t have conductors," "They have band leaders. The band takes its style from the drums and its time from the bass player."

even with acoustic challenges at the park, the orchestra sounded like it was performing in a music hall.

"We were very excited to be able to invite the local high school band to come and play,".

"Saginaw Parks and Recreation, and the city of Saginaw, support our youth. They’re the future. To us, the kids are the stars,"


people came early to picnic meet up w/friends

let the dogs get some exercise

and make new doggie friends

it was such a pretty night and solidified in my mind what a nice place this is to live

This was the best herb crusted salmon and I just added a little of this and a little of that w/ the bread crumbs in the bullet blender and patted it on before baking for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees

Phot hunt 'hands' (a favorite)originally posted in 2007

Have you ever thought about how wonderful hands are? There was a time in my life when asked 'what part of you do you not like?' and I replied: "I hate my hands" but since then I have come to realize all the wonderful things hands can do... I now love them and especially love all the others who give me a hand in life...



Hands show trust...
