Today’s the next to last day of our little tour of nearby Salem. This photo is something of a precursor to tomorrow’s city daily photo theme day. It’s a back door of the building where I took the theme picture. If you could look directly above this door, you’d see my theme day photo.
I’m not [...]
Guest photographer Moe sent me this beautiful photo he took a few years ago of the Oregon State Capitol Building with the trees in full bloom. I thought it a lovely image to include in our little Salem tour. It’s a nice reminder that spring blooms are just around the corner.
Thanks, Moe, for showing us [...]
It’s day four of our mini-tour of nearby Salem. Today’s photo is of the church where both my maternal grandparents and aunt and uncle both were married many years ago.
My grandparents married there in the 1920’s. My aunt and uncle married there in the 1950’s, on my grandparents’ 25th wedding anniversary. I wasn’t able to [...]
Continuing our mini-tour of nearby Salem (see also: outside and inside the state capitol building), today’s photos are of the 23 acre Riverfront Park along the Willamette River. The park is a work in progress, and has a variety of awesome features — a carousel, pavilion, playground, amphitheater, the Eco Earth Globe, and the Willamette [...]
Yesterday I posted some photos of the Oregon State Capitol Building and surrounding grounds. Today’s photos are from the inside the rotunda, which is the main entrance to the building.
The photo above is the Capitol dome. My friend Steve actually set up the shot for me and let me use his tripod. The only thing [...]
I took a photography trip to nearby Salem on Friday, and thought I’d spend the next few days sharing the sights.
First up is the Oregon State Capitol Building. I’d never been there despite living so close, so I was a happy camper to finally make a visit. I have my friend Steve to thank for [...]
Guest photographer Moe sent along this interesting photo of a tractor seat collection. Yes, you read that right. Here’s Moe’s description:
Went to the Doerfler estate sale outside Sublimity on Thursday 02-21. Asked to see the collection of tractor seats. The old fellow at the house collected things, knives, bear traps, and tractor seats. It was [...]
Frequent guest photographer Ronda Faught took this awesome photo of the lunar eclipse two nights ago that puts mine to shame. There are all kinds of details in the moon my photo completely missed.
Be sure to visit Ronda’s web site for more of her awesome photography.

This is my not-so-spectacular shot of the lunar eclipse last night. It’s over-exposed and blurry. Sorry about that. I wasn’t really prepared, and my longest lens isn’t really up to the job. And I screwed up the exposure.
So if you want to see some beautiful photos of the eclipse, check out sid6581’s photos (use the [...]
This, friends, is the face of the Great Root Bear at the A&W Restaurant on Washington St. If you aren’t familiar with the big guy, he’s the mascot of the restaurant chain.
For whatever reason, I had thought his name was Root Beer Bear, since one of A&W’s main things is root beer floats, but the [...]
So, the other day my mother, after hearing I’d taken more shots of the Stayton-Jordan Bridge at Pioneer Park, said, “You know, they have pretty trees down there, too.” In other words, she thinks I might have taken a few too many pictures of the bridge.
Mothers. Do they always have to be right? Not that [...]
The other day, I posted a photo of the side of the Santiam Historical Museum. I had thought I’d already posted a photo of the front, but… eh, not so much.
So, here’s the front. It’s a really a cute little building, with an interesting history (see the previous post for some of the details).
I still [...]
This is the edge of Stayton’s industrial area, just off of Wilco Rd. There are several blocks in that area of large buildings and large equipment doing various things (don’t ask me what). I don’t get to go down Wilco Rd. itself, since my scooter isn’t fast enough to go the speed limit. and other [...]
I spotted this wagon wheel in a small field off of E. Virginia St. So of course I took a picture. Because that’s what I do… I take pictures of anything and everything for this blog. I get weird looks, me with my camera all the time, taking pictures of things like random wagon wheels, [...]
The fire station on Ida St. is district headquarters for the Stayton Fire District. The district encompasses 107 square miles and has four fire stations. All the stations are volunteer-based — in fact, both of my brothers were volunteers at the Stayton station when they were younger.
The above info came from the Stayton Fire District [...]
