Located in Oregon, USA, featuring Stayton and other nearby towns in the Willamette Valley.
Field & Trees
Wilco 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 in my book.
Oh, and for those who may care (and since I mentioned it yesterday) — I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It rocked. A great ending to a great series. I can’t believe I managed to read a 759 page book that quickly, though. Sleep? Who needs sleep?

The Long Path
about 3 days ago - No comments
I ventured out yesterday to where they’re building the new foot bridge over the power canal where the old woolen mill used to be. They haven’t added anything new since guest photographer John Brandt was there… the only change I could see was they removed the wood molds around the concrete. Instead, I ventured a More >
Burn That Field Down, Part III

Today is the third photo of controlled farm field burning by guest photographer Terri Jo Adams (see also day one and day two). Her description: Hope you can stand one more picture of the field burn…I just like this one – synchronized field fires… Yep, very cool. It really makes for a pretty picture. Thanks, More >
Burn That Field Down, Part II

Guest photographer Terri Jo Adams sent two more nifty field burning photos, to go with the one I posted two days ago (I’ll post the other photo tomorrow). Her description: This was out on Doerfler Rd Sunday the 29th of August. There were so many field fires that day, all of a sudden, that it More >
Burn That Field Down

Guest photographer Terri Jo Adams sent in today’s photo of some controlled farm field burning outside of town. She forgot to include a description to go with the photo, so I’m going to make one up. If you’ll please, turn your eyes to the distance fields in the photograph situated atop this entry. Even the More >

If you were able to look to the left of yesterday’s photo, you would have seen the above. Which is what you’re seeing now, so I guess you can, after all.

Boedigheimer Road
about 2 weeks ago - 2 comments
I went out with the intent of going further down Boedigheimer Rd., which is just outside of Stayton, than I’d been previously. Instead, I made it to the top of the first hill and found it was so windy, I could hardly keep my scooter upright. As you can see in the photo above, it’s More >
A Historic Moment Itself
about 3 weeks ago - No comments
Guest photographer Patrick noticed this nice bit of irony last week outside the Santiam Historical Museum. His description: I took this photo last week. In my own little world I saw the photo as ironic: a sizable tree (with history to it) was being removed from in front of the Historical Society Museum. Anyway, thought More >
Drift On Forever Seeking
about 3 weeks ago - 6 comments
It’s been a remarkably long time since I last posted a photo of my favorite Stayton landmark (February, to be exact), so it’s high time to do it again. Oh, Jordan Bridge at Pioneer Park, I just can’t stay away. You call to me like a siren’s song. Or that could be tinnitus. Whichever. Speaking More >
Post-Burn Beauty

Guest photographer Patrick sent in today’s photo of a farm field after a controlled burn. His description: The recent photo on your blog of a field burn in the distance prompted me to send this photo to you. I have been photographing the fields for three years now, usually highlighting the post-burn beauty that can More >
Just The Two Of Us

I’ve been ill this week, so going out and taking pictures hasn’t been working out. I took this in mid-July at Campbell-Grier Cemetery just outside of town.

That is a very cool photo! The colors are wonderful. If you like open spaces, browse the past few months on my site. Doing a daily blog of the small town of Delta Colorado has me taking a few landscape shots
The one battle I did find myself in however was noting I thought a new housing development in town was “nice”.

I’m in the middle of listining to the Harry Potter book in MP3 format on my iPod. So far so good.

You managed to finish the Harry Potter book AND take this great photo, all in one weekend! Wow, what energy — you rock! And you live in a beautiful little town.
