Tall, tall trees
Wednesday, June 21st, 2006
There’s nothing like looking up at trees which have been around for years to decades, and will probably still be there when I’m gone. It keeps things in perspective.
I’m terrible at identified trees, plants, flowers, etc., but I know at least part of these are douglas firs. Look for the branches with dark green needles. Or don’t. Don’t worry, there won’t be a quiz later.
This is yet another photo taken at Pioneer Park in Stayton. You might have guessed this, but I adore this park. It’s very photogenic, and just a peaceful place. It’s tucked back in the corner of town, in a residential area, so there’s very little traffic.
Not that Stayton is a high traffic area, anyway. Heck, most of the folks in town actually stop their cars to let pedestrians cross the street at crosswalks. I know, that’s truly fascinating.
Hey, what was today’s photo topic again? I seem to have wandered away from it. Oh, well.

that is some serious trees! Nice long thin ones!
Great picture
And no one around! That is so great. Over here every inch of wood is covered with someone looking for a place to put his bbq.
Well done Celine don’t forget to send me your address by email. On this part of the Riviera we haven’t trees any where near this tall. In the back country however we have some that might just get this close:)

Great photo of the trees, and I enjoyed reading your commentary.
