I still haven’t had much of an opportunity to go out and take photos, so here we are with another sunset. I’m hoping to get out today to take photos of something or other. I have no idea what that something or other is as of yet. But, then, I rarely do.

Today is the 2nd anniversary of Stayton Daily Photo! Woot! It’s absolutely amazing to me this blog has been going for so long. Heck, I was amazed when I reached one year, so reaching two years just blows me away.
Thank you to everyone who has visited and commented over the last two years, thank you [...]

This lovely (and very small) jumping spider hitched a ride on the back of my scooter a couple of days ago.
For the photography tech heads, this is a crop of a larger image. It was taken with my macro lens, but to get super close, it would have required more equipment than I have. Still, [...]

New guest photographer Chris Randall has sent along this very nifty photo of a barn he took in Jordan, a small community near Stayton. He took it with a Lensbaby to give it that [...]

This is the front of the Church of the Nazarene on Washington St. It’s a cute little church… the epitome of a little white church, in my opinion. I’ve posted a side view photo of it before.
As someone named Gecko pointed out in a comment on the other photo, the church was once the Baptist [...]

This painted mural is in the lobby of the police station on 3rd Ave. I don’t think I’d really ever noticed it before. Because I am a dork.

Guest photographer Moe sent me this image he took east of nearby Sublimity. It must have been beautiful to see the sea of red flowers in person. Thanks to Moe for sharing his photo.

I haven’t had the opportunity to go out taking photos in the last couple of days (see yesterday’s post as to why). Instead, I’m posting a photo I took in my backyard of a Japanese maple leaf. Yay.

Early yesterday morning, my dog woke me up by sitting on my bed and growling at something. That’s not unusual, but his persistence finally made me get up to see what was going on. I’m glad I did — the front door of my house had caught fire. Thankfully, the local police and fire department [...]

The weather the last couple of days has been kind of icky, so here’s a wee bit of a sunset I took a few days ago from the corner of 3rd and Fern Ridge Rd.

This sign arches over the main entrance to the Lone Oak Cemetery on 3rd Ave. I passed by it as it was getting dark a couple of nights ago, and thought it looked nifty in silhouette.

This old Chevy pickup was peeking out of a garage just off of 3rd Ave. a couple of nights ago. Despite its less than optimal condition, there’s no denying the cool factor of the truck.

Yesterday I posted a photo of a woman who was born at the historic Charles and Martha Brown House during its time as a hospital in the 1930’s. Today I’m posting some shots of the house itself, which I took during an open house on Saturday.
I’ll let the Brown House’s official web site explain the [...]

Yesterday, I attended an open house at the Charles and Martha Brown House, an historic home presently being restored by volunteers. It will eventually be opened to the community to hold events, etc.
I had the privilege of speaking with Mrs. Marlene B Getchell-Knieling, who was born at the house during its tenure as the town’s [...]

This is part of the front of the Red Apple Restaurant on 2nd Ave. I’ve kind of gotten into shooting neon signs lately. There aren’t many around town, but some may pop up on here now and then.
On a side note: Happy birthday, Mom. I love you.
