Breaking Open

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

It was mostly overcast yesterday afternoon, but there was a nifty break in the clouds for a little while. I did my best to capture it, though I’m not sure how well it came through. Subtle clouds and sun rays can be tricky to photograph… at least, it’s tricky for me.
I took this looking west [...]

Gently

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Since we’re nearing the end of warm weather for the year, I’ve been on a flower hunt all over town. I need to get in as many as I can, don’t ya know. This black-eyed susan flower was found across the street from Pioneer Park.
Be a guest photographer!
I am once again running out of photo [...]

The Weakness In Me

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

This… is a wall. With a crack on it. And a pipe running down it. Or maybe up, depending on how you choose to view it.
It’s actually the back wall of the police station on 3rd Ave. Gosh, how exciting this is. Yep. Uh huh.
On a completely related note, I am once again running out [...]

Tommy Toes

The Safeway grocery store on 1st Ave. had some lovely looking tomatoes on display in front of the building yesterday… couldn’t resist getting a photo. Or two.
I thought about trying to juggle a few, but I doubted the employees and nearby customers would appreciate it if I dropped them and they splattered. Which they would.

Stroll

Friday, September 26th, 2008

Just a shot of 3rd Ave., across from City Hall. I like the “old school” look provided by the decades old buildings… like it’s from another time period.

Cut In

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

I’m having a serious case of brain drain, so I can’t remember exactly where I took today’s photo. I’m almost positive this is the back of a building on 3rd Ave., but I don’t have a clue as to which one.
I think the wood part of the building was a doorway at one time, though [...]

Trickle In

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

I don’t normally post two flower macros in a row, but I’ve been trying to take as many flower shots as I can before the colder weather sets in and the flowers go away until next year.
This is the center of a sunflower I found across the street from Pioneer Park.

Queen Anne

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

The flower Queen Anne’s Lace grows wild in these parts, and it’s a flower I just love. That’s especially true now that I’ve seen it up extra close via my camera’s macro lens. The flower is actually comprised of several tiny flower… ettes? I don’t know what to call them, but they really are adorable.

Central Receiving

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

I had occasion to be in the lot on the west end of Norpac Cannery the other day (they provided the parking for the car show I attended), so I thought it would be a good chance to take a picture of one of the buildings from behind the fence which surrounds the property. This [...]

Smoke Signals

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

I went back out to the pond yesterday off of Cascade Highway (see the photo I posted the other day). As it happened, what appeared to be a field burning on an area farm field made for an interesting backdrop and reflection in the water.

Where I Can Be At Peace

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

The sun was red on Wednesday night — a beautiful, peaceful looking red. I think it might have been caused by some wildfires in the general area… not sure. Whatever the cause, it was lovely.
I took this from Lone Oak Cemetery.

More From The Stro’s Wednesday Nite Cruise-In

Friday, September 19th, 2008

(See more car show photos in my Flickr photoset!)
Yesterday I posted some photos from the final Stro’s Wednesday Nite Cruise-In car show. Since I took a lot of photos, I decided to carry it over to a second day. Because I can.
I’ve uploaded 22 more photos to my Flickr photoset of the event [...]

Stro’s Wednesday Nite Cruise-In

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

(See more car show photos in my Flickr photoset!)
Last night was the final Stro’s Wednesday Nite Cruise-In car show at the A&W for the year. It always makes me happy to see all the pretty cars. Not that I know what most of them are, of course, but I do like to look at them.
I’m [...]

Spray

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

The sprinklers were on at St. Mary’s Catholic Cemetery a few days ago when I passed by. I didn’t do the scene justice with my photo, but it was a lovely sight, with the water flying in the sunlight.

Time Of The Season

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

A year ago I posted a few photos of some fall blooming crocus at Lone Oak Cemetery on 3rd Ave. A couple of days ago, I happened by the flowers again, so I thought it might be fitting to post another photo or two.
A cute little bee was hanging around, so forgive me for going [...]
