I posted a photo last year of the Historic Charles and Martha Brown House, a historic home on 1st Ave. which is undergoing renovation. I thought it might be interesting to do an updated photo to show the progress on the outside of the home.
For background info on the house, please see the post from [...]
Although, now that I think about it, it does have about the same entertainment value.
This must be a utility box of some sort, but I’ve never seen one like it before. But then again, I don’t pay a lot of attention to those things. It was in an area where they’re building a [...]
I’ve heard recently that the Oregon area food banks are in desperate need of donations right now, so I thought it a good time to highlight Stayton’s food bank, just off of 3rd Ave., on E Ida St. It’s a worthy cause — we all have to eat — so please consider donating to your [...]
This sign can be seen hanging out at the power sub-station on Fern Ridge Rd. I must confess I didn’t do any field testing to see if the sign is, in fact, telling the truth. I’m perfectly happy to take it on faith.
This is a tree. A fairly large tree. It’s standing in a field. The field is part of Neitling Park. Wow.
Sorry. It’s not always easy coming up with captions. I suppose I could make something up. Like the tree is really a space alien come to take over Stayton, and that all the other trees [...]
I spotted this scarecrow decoration hanging out at the Lone Oak Cemetery a couple of days ago. She (or he) was shy at first and would only face away from my camera. It took a bit of coaxing for her (or him) to turn around. As you can see in the photo, she (or he) [...]
This building on 3rd Avenue is decked out for the political holidays, so to speak, for an upcoming ballot measure. I’m not advocating for or against the measure, I just thought the building was cool. It was built in 1912, and is “the only concrete stone building in Stayton retaining original entrys and display windows,” [...]
I took this shot of 3rd Avenue the other day while standing in front of City Hall, and it just kinda felt like the scene was from another time. So I fiddled with it to give it an aged look to fit what I felt the mood to be. Just, ya know, ignore all those [...]
A string of train cars were parked on the tracks which run alongside Locust St. yesterday. The cars had graffiti marked with a variety of dates and locations, like the one above. I think it’s kinda cool I found this one two years to the day it was created, apparently in or around Minneapolis, Minnesota [...]
Here’s a completely random photo of a gas station on 1st Ave. Oddly enough, this is actually the second time I’ve posted a photo of this gas station. I don’t know why. This photo is completely different, in that it’s the other side of the station. Yep. Totally, utterly different.
Today’s photo was taken from the cemetery on 3rd, which sits on a hill. It affords probably the best view out over town… what little you can see of it, that is. There are a bazillion (more or less) trees in Stayton, so the view is mostly blocked.
The tall lights visible are from the one [...]
I guess summer really is over. The last vestiges of a once beautiful black-eyed susan flower pay testament to the passing of the season.
For another view of the flowers, please see my other photoblog, Photos By Celine.
I attended the final day of the Oregon Covered Bridge Festival yesterday, and took a few more photos. The pony pictured above was pulling a little buggy which was giving folks rides around the festival.
For more photos from the event, please see my Flickr photoset. The newest photos are at the end of the set.
Yesterday I attended the first day of the two-day Oregon Covered Bridge Festival at Pioneer Park. The photos above show a pony which was pulling a buggy, Ty Curtis of the awesome Ty Curtis Band, some work gloves of an artificer (craftsperson), and a red-tailed hawk from the Birds of Prey exhibit.
Check out my Flickr [...]
This cute creature hangs out at the playground at Northslope Park off of Fern Ridge Rd. He doesn’t talk much, but he’s always there if you need him. I like that in a playground toy… even if I’m too, um, grown up (so to speak) to ride the little guy.
