The Walk
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007Today’s photo is of my teenage niece walking along the fence outside the elementary school. She was lost in her own little world, listening to her iPod, as we were on our way to a movie.
2007 Santiam SummerFest Car Show
Monday, July 30th, 2007Part of the Saturday’s SummerFest (see yesterday’s post) was a car show with well over 100 cars on display. I wasn’t able to stay for more than a few minutes, but I did get some pictures of the automotive beauties. Check out my Flickr photoset of the event.
Also, be sure to look at the photos [...]
2007 Santiam SummerFest
Sunday, July 29th, 2007Yesterday was the annual Santiam SummerFest, a popular street fair held in downtown Stayton. The adorable girl above was having fun at the petting zoo.
I’ve posted a Flickr photoset of the event, where you’ll find photos of babies, dogs, people, cows, a giant red key, cheerleaders, and random other things.
One of the photos is of [...]
Cemetery At Dusk
Saturday, July 28th, 2007Today’s photo is a view of St. Mary’s Catholic Cemetery looking towards 3rd Ave. It sits right next to Lone Oak Cemetery. It’s a peaceful place to honor those who’ve passed, and it’s a great place to watch the sunset or the city’s fireworks show on the 4th of July.
GO
Friday, July 27th, 2007I was given a bit of a challenge yesterday by Mark (check out the guest photographers section for some of his awesome photos). I posted a photo of a stop sign yesterday, and Mark responded with:
How come you didn’t post a pic of a “Go” sign for contrast?
Well, the photo above isn’t a [...]
STOP
Thursday, July 26th, 2007… Okay, now start again.
For those who care (not that such folks exist), this was taken in the Bi-Mart parking lot on Shaff Rd.
A Field Of Queens
Wednesday, July 25th, 2007Queen Anne’s Lace has started popping up in various locations around town. It grows wild here and in great abundance.
Two more views:
Red Truck
Tuesday, July 24th, 2007This is a red truck. A big red truck. I don’t know what kind of truck it is or what it’s being used for in the photo. Don’t ask me, I just take pictures. I don’t actually know what I’m taking pictures of most of the time. As I’ve probably said before, I tend to [...]
Field & Trees
Monday, July 23rd, 2007Wilco Rd. is mostly industrial, but at the north end (across from the requisite McDonald’s) there is a big ol’ field with some big ol’ trees. I like big ol’ fields and trees. They make me happy. Anywhere there’s a patch of land without a bunch of houses or businesses on it is all good [...]
Blue Swing
Sunday, July 22nd, 2007I didn’t get a chance to go out and take photos yesterday. I’m reading the new Harry Potter book, which has effectively trapped me until I finish its 12 bazillion or so pages, so here’s a photo I took a little over a week ago at Northslope Park.
Now back to reading.
Eruption
Saturday, July 21st, 2007Today’s photo (not that I would spend time here describing a photo from, say, yesterday or last week) is of an automated sprinkler in the landscaped area of a parking lot. Not that the landscaped area has anything but dirt to water at the moment, but automated sprinklers don’t care about that. They just do [...]
Arched
Friday, July 20th, 2007This is the back part of a dirt and gravel driveway on Fern Ridge Rd. I love how the trees have created an archway leading to the field beyond. But, then again, I am easily amused.
Iron
Thursday, July 19th, 2007Today’s photo is of part of some iron drainage grating on the side of a road down the street from where I live. The full text reads ‘Salem Iron Works’… Salem being our state capitol and about 15 miles NW of Stayton.
Radioactive Fish
Wednesday, July 18th, 2007A Tale of Two Radioactive Fish in Love
I had no idea this big fella was hanging over my head when I was downtown yesterday until I stopped and really looked at the sign. A pink and yellow fish. Who knew?
The sign is above a Chinese restaurant on 1st Ave. I like the radioactive look. The [...]
Fuzzy Wuzzies
Tuesday, July 17th, 2007Yesterday I posted a photo of a small wetland enhancement area in north Stayton. Today’s photo is a closer view of part of what’s being preserved. I don’t have the faintest idea what they are, but I think they’re nifty.
