Leaving Autumn Behind
Since winter is almost officially upon us, I thought I’d throw out one last photo of some autumn leaves. I spotted these alongside a street, and felt a metaphor for the passing of one season to the next swelling within me. Thankfully it passed before it was fully formed in my head. I think that much thinking would have made my brain explode.
If you’re so inclined, check out my other autumn-related photos posted here from taken this year and last fall. You can also check out my autumn photoset on Zooomr. It has a lot more I didn’t post here.

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 >
Going Up

I seem to be in the mood to post random road shots lately. This one is of a hill on Fern Ridge Rd., just after it crosses Highway 22 and clears city limits. This is very exciting stuff, isn’t it? I mean… a road. With stripes and everything. Wow. In other news, is anyone going 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 >
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.

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.
Beautiful Oak

Guest photographer Terri Jo Adams sent in today’s photo of a lovely tree at Lone Oak Cemetery. Her description: This isn’t all that unusual of a picture, I just have always thought this was one of the most beautiful Oak trees I’ve ever seen….. It is beautiful. I always enjoy looking at the trees there. More >

Guest photographer Moe sent in today’s photo. His description: saw this traffic speed checker in Sublimity. thought the numbers were peculiar. I agree. That second number is a bit puzzling. Is it new math? Click on the photo to see it a big larger. Thanks as always, Moe, for your contribution.

I like nature photography and have taken hundreds of autumn pictures mostly in Arizona and Oregon. But they mostly remain fallow on my hard drive. Not once have I captured what I saw when I was there and I am not inspired to process them. It is a major disappointment to me.
I reviewed some of your autumn images that you recommended. Some favorites in no particular order:
Firm in my Be-Leaf
Autumn Casualty
Scattered
Wet Leaves on Pavement
I also like the scarecrow one for photographic reasons even though that is not ‘nature’.
I took these pictures I took on Chemeketa Street on the capitol mall but I they really failed to capture what I saw that day. I had high hopes. That kinda bums me out.

Thanks, nutstang.
Steve, thanks for going through the images. As for your taking photos in Oregon, wasn’t a certain someone supposed to call another certain someone when that first someone was in Oregon? Hmmmmm?
I don’t know what your problem is with your photos, as I think they’re beautiful. I especially like CRW_2651w.jpg.
And a Canon 10D? I’m officially jealous.

A certain someone that is in Oregon sent an email to another certain someone but have not heard back.
