DP Theme Day: Street Lights And Signs

Tree-Themed Street Sign Mosaic - street signs in Stayton Oregon

Today is the theme day here in City Daily Photo land, and this month it's "street lights and signs." Stayton has but a few street lights, so I decided to go with signs, instead.

Stayton has quite a few tree-oriented street signs (my theme day photo has its own theme... gosh, that's exciting). The mosaic above shows a portion of such signs, but there are more.

And, yes, I know 'evergreen' isn't a tree, but since the vast majority of the trees in town are of the evergreen variety, I felt it should be included.

A Window in Portland Oregon - photo taken by Lynette HansonUpdate!

Lynette Hanson, a Portland resident who's thinking of starting a Portland daily photo blog (go for it, Lynette!), has sent me a contribution to today's theme day. It shows some street lights being reflected in a window on SW 3rd and Washington. Please click on the image at right to see the bigger version of the photo.

I hope Lynette does become a DP blogger... she'd make a great addition. You can also visit her non-DP blog.

Nice collage ... I suspect your Stayton readers are enjoying the street names ... Lynette, your photo is great and it includes the reflection of a Volkswagen Beetle as well as a street light ... Maybe we can have a beetle theme. I suspect they can be found around the world.

Great collage - I'm just slightly wondering about Hollister and Noble; not tree names in my vocabulary but I'm sure they are in yours so I'll have to find out what kinds of tree they are now.

Thanks for your comments, everyone.

Gerald, Hollister isn't a tree (as far as I know)... that picture was taken for the 'Evergreen' sign. That's not a tree, specifically, but can be used to describe a tree.

Noble is a type of fir tree.

Thanks for your encouraging comments, y'all. As a transplanted Mississippian (from Jackson), I'm proud to call Portland home now. It's the perfect place for me and my camera. Look for my daily photos soon!
