Under The Sky
Down at the east end of Jefferson St. lies a nifty field and some nifty trees, with a nifty hill (or possibly a mountain… I’m not sure) peeking through those nifty trees. Not to mention a nifty sky.
I’m always a sucker for open spaces. They make me feel little less confined. I find myself appreciating them more and more, since there are fewer and fewer of them around each day. This field is right next to a new residential development. I wonder how long it will be before the field and trees give way to houses and streets.

Burn That Field Down, Part II
about 7 hours ago - No comments
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

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

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

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 >

Yep, a sunset. It wasn’t intentional, but I happened by this scene, and I had to take pictures. It would be wrong if I didn’t. I took this on the corner of 3rd Ave. and Fern Ridge Rd.

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.

Guest photographer John Brandt took today’s photo of a dead tree (or part of a tree) in Wilderness Park he doesn’t expect to survive another winter. I haven’t been through that park in some time. I really need to do it again very soon. Once the temperature cools down a bit, that is.

Love it! Open spaces like this one makes me feel free and happy. I discovered this one a couple of weeks ago.

There’s something calming about the open field, too, as well as Fredrik’s comments and Celine’s. There are precious few open spots like that left here in the Northeast, where developers are grabbing every bit of open space, or buying small houses and putting McMansions up on them.

I meant to say the devlopers are knocking down the small houses and putting up McMansions in their places…

A beautiful shot – the sky is so very blue! Makes me long for summer – it’s a little grey and grisly and wintry here in Cape Town today. It would be a great pity if that field and those trees had to make way for houses and streets.
