Early yesterday morning, I did this thing which I really try to avoid — I got up and left the house before sunrise. It was… interesting. In Stayton, there is almost no traffic at that time of day, so it was definitely peaceful. But, still… way too early.
But I did get to see the sunrise, [...]
So, there was a field. And it had dandelions in it. So I took a picture. And now I’m posting it here. Yay.
This is the Public Works reservoir and pump building. It, I assume, has something to do with water.
That’s what my readers (hi, Mom!) have come to expect from this blog — in depth, detailed information.
It was a fairly boring photo of pretty routine buildings, so I processed it to make it more interesting. The picture [...]
This is the edge of a grassy field at the end of E. Pine St. It’s right next to the town’s reservoir and pump station, a large round building I may post a picture of tomorrow. That would depend on whether the pictures I took of it are of the non-sucky variety. I’m still undecided.
I adore this neon sign on the Santiam Depot / Rumours Lounge Restaurant on 3rd Ave. It has that cool retro feel.
I was out the other night with the ol’ tripod, and decided to take a picture of the cannery from the far side of the parking lot across the street from the fairly large (or long, at least) buildings which make up the cannery.
If I’d been using my brain, I would have done a long [...]
As promised yesterday, today I’m posting some photos I took at the Bird & Hat Inn, a beautiful bed & breakfast on 3rd Ave.
The Inn was part of the garden tour I attended on Sunday, so I took the opportunity to take some photos of both the inside and the outside of the house. The [...]
Yesterday I attended part of the 8th annual garden tour held by the Santiam Heritage Foundation as a fund raising event for the Charles And Martha Brown House (see my post about the Brown House open house held last month).
As usual, I ended up focusing on the small things instead of the overall views of [...]
I took the above just after I took yesterday’s photo, about an hour after sunset. Both photos used 30 second exposures to get the various colors still visible in the sky, since full dark hadn’t yet set in.
There’s a new neighborhood just off of 10th Ave. which has some gorgeous homes. I’d hadn’t been through it before a couple of nights ago, so I decided to skulk about a bit with my camera and tripod.
Of the homes I saw, the one above completely captured my attention. I liked the Stayton water tower [...]
Yesterday I posted a couple of photos from the Stro’s Wednesday Nite Cruise-In which took place a couple of nights ago at the local A&W restaurant. Since there were so many pretty cars, I thought I’d post another photo or two for today’s post.
I’ve also uploaded several more photos to my Flickr photoset of the [...]
I attended the Stro’s Wednesday Nite Cruise-In again last night at the A&W restaurant on Washington St. The cruise-ins are held twice a month during the summer to raise money for the Brent Strohmeyer Memorial Foundation, which gives money for college scholarships.
I’ve posted part of the photos I took of the cars to a Flickr [...]
These lovely little flowers were on a bush I passed by a couple of days ago. They may or may not be some sort of small roses. I really couldn’t tell you (as usual). I just think they’re pretty.
Santiam Park is a public park on the north end of 3rd Ave. It was built a couple of years ago as part of a new housing development area.
It’s a nice park, in an open area surrounded by houses and a retirement center.
I took a stroll along the edge of the Community Center parking lot the other day in order to photograph the beautiful roses planted there. It’s a strip of rose heaven.
To see more of the roses, please click on the thumbnails below. At least, I think the white one is a rose, but I could [...]
