Tulip-icious
Saturday, March 31st, 2007I saw this lovely tulip in the yard of a doctor’s office on 2nd Ave. It said, “Hey, take my picture!” Flowers can talk, can’t they?
Over the Hospital
Friday, March 30th, 2007This is a large windsock which lives on top of the hospital. It sits next to the helipad used by the Life Flight emergency helicopter.
Yes, it does look like a certain form of birth control.
For a bit of perspective on where the windsock is, here’s a daytime photo of the helipad. The windsock can be [...]
Wednesday Night @ 10pm
Thursday, March 29th, 2007Things get wild and wacky when the sun goes down here in big ol’ Stayton. Yep. As you can see above, everyone swarms to one of the busiest places in town — that’s right, the parking lot of a Safeway grocery store.
Okay, so life is pretty quiet after dark around here. The vast majority of [...]
Looking Up
Wednesday, March 28th, 2007I like trees. That’s probably obvious to those who visit regularly, since I tend to post a lot of photos of trees.
So here’s one more, this time of some Douglas-fir trees. It’s another ‘up’ perspective, somewhat similar to the Spring Blossoms photo I posted a few days ago… except with a lot more trees. It [...]
Leaves Alight
Tuesday, March 27th, 2007Do you know what would be nifty? If I could point my digital camera at something, say the leaves of some sort of plant or bush, and the display would tell me what type of bush or plant it is. Because, frankly, most of the time I am absolutely clueless (on so, so many things).
Such [...]
Rusted Bolt
Monday, March 26th, 2007This here is a rusty old bolt on a faded on stop sign. Why did I take a picture of a rusty old bolt on a faded old stop sign? Because it was there, I was there, and sometimes I’m liable to point my camera at any old thing and press the shutter.
This particular sign [...]
Spring Blossoms
Sunday, March 25th, 2007I decided to get all artsy and stuff and shoot today’s photo looking up the trunk of a cute little blossoming tree. ‘Cause, ya know, that’s never been done before.
Or not.
Anyway, are these cherry blossoms? Some other sort of blossoms? Are they a figment of our collection imaginations? Who’s to say? But they are pretty, [...]
Spring Daffodils
Saturday, March 24th, 2007I just love spring. It starts to get warmer, the days start to last longer, all the deciduous trees start coming back to life, and the flowers start to bloom. I especially love the flowers. I saw a whole bunch of daffodils in a yard yesterday, and had to take some photos.
And since I couldn’t [...]
300th Post!
Friday, March 23rd, 2007Somehow, despite my very real tendency to procrastinate and then eventually forget pretty much everything, I’ve actually managed to post a photo every single day for the last 300 days.
How did the heck did that happen?
Beats me. It’s strange. Anyway, so this here is post/photo 300. It’s actually a photo I took last autumn, but [...]
Moon Blur
Thursday, March 22nd, 2007Last night I was all set to take a picture of the moon. It was all pretty and stuff. So I went to get my tripod and discovered I had misplaced the little thing which attaches the camera to the tripod. Because I’m dork.
So I decided to try it anyway. It didn’t work. But I [...]
The Streak
Wednesday, March 21st, 2007This is a two second exposure of a car’s tail lights. It looks to me like something out of Star Wars. Perhaps Han Solo’s blaster shooting some storm trooper or something. Dunno.
The above was taken on Locust St. in front of the high school.
Under the Sun
Tuesday, March 20th, 2007I know I’ve posted sunset photos the last two days, but I’m posting yet another one because… well, because I can.
This one was taken looking out over the parking lot at the hospital on 10th Ave. So that’s what is under the sun. A parking lot. With cars in it.
After Sunset
Monday, March 19th, 2007Here’s another shot of the late evening sky (and a handy link to the photo I posted yesterday).
For those who care, the photos were taken on the corner of 3rd Ave. and Fern Ridge Rd. If you want to see a sunset, that’s probably the best place to go in town.
Sunset Stripe
Sunday, March 18th, 2007I saw the above last night and thought I’d share my happy little find. The sky was overcast and it was sprinkling, but this beautiful stripe of golden hue was peeking out along the horizon.
Stayton In Green
Saturday, March 17th, 2007I thought I’d post a photo mosaic in the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day. That’s because when I think of Stayton, I think of the color green. There are trees, bushes, grass, etc., almost everywhere one looks.
So here’s Stayton in green. And since I’m too sleepy to link to the individual blog pages for each [...]
