Vanishing

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

A big ol’ train was hanging out on the tracks on W. Locust St. yesterday, so I stopped and took a few (okay, several) photos of the train itself, and details of some of the graffiti scattered on the train’s sides. I’ll post some of the graffiti tomorrow.
By the way, if the person who [...]

Someday I Will Rule The World

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

I was heading into Postal Connections on Shaff Rd. a few days ago, when I spotted this insect on a post outside the store. It seemed only mildly annoyed when I grabbed my macro lens and started taking pictures. As usual, I have no idea what type of insect it is, though it was fairly [...]

Only The Beginning

Friday, November 28th, 2008

I hope everyone had a great day yesterday, whether or not you celebrated Thanksgiving.
Today’s photo is of the aptly named Park Rd., which runs between Neitling Park and Pioneer Park, and then back around the wooded area behind Pioneer Park. I took this right where the road goes from paved to dirt, like you see [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

To all who celebrate the holiday tomorrow, or just have something for which to be thankful, I wish each of you a Happy Thanksgiving.
I took this photo yesterday at Regis High School on Regis St.

Latter Days

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

It’s time once again for my favorite oak trees, which live near the hospital. I really should make a separate section for my photos of these trees, since I’ve posted several.

Ambulance

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

Today’s photo is of two ambulances (and one random semi truck in the background) outside of Stayton Memorial Hospital. I’m not sure why the sky went wacky in terms of colors… it was just kind of like that (even before processing), although I took it in the middle of the day.

Freak Of Nature

Monday, November 24th, 2008

I found this hubcap (hubcapius automotus) growing wild next to Santiam Hospital on 10th Ave. the other day. It seemed to be thriving (note the lack of rust), even though the weather has turned cold and damp. I was a little worried for it, because it seemed to be alone; I understand they do better [...]

If You Remember Me

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

Leaves. Colorful autumn leaves. Yes, I’ve posted several photos of autumn leaves already this season, but I can’t help it. They’re just too pretty to ignore.
I took these in a parking lot on 4th Ave.

Holding On To Life

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

In an apparent ongoing effort to photograph the Salem Ditch, a man made irrigation waterway running from Stayton to nearby Salem, I hereby yet another view. This one was taken on 4th Ave., facing east.
The photo probably looks better when viewed in a larger size.

Fade Into Nothing

Friday, November 21st, 2008

Today’s photo is another shot from fog-filled Sunday. I took this shot at the same place I took Tuesday’s photo, a power canal waterway off of 4th Ave.

Walk Through Autumn, Take 2

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

This path through Neitling Park is a favorite of mine. I’ve been posting seasonal shots of it, showing the various colors of the leaves throughout the year.
I’ve already posted one for autumn, but when I saw the path a few days ago, I knew I had to do it again.

Morning Drive

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

This is a nifty little road I’ve always liked, N. Scenic View Dr., just before it hits E. Santiam St. I don’t know why, but the curve through the trees has always seemed so pretty to me. I took this on Sunday, during a bought of fog.

At The Water’s Edge

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

This little shed of some sort sits at the edge a power canal just off of the south end of 4th Ave. I took this during a pretty thick fog on Sunday afternoon.
I’ve posted a photo of the shed before… I don’t know why it’s there. If anyone out there knows, please leave a comment. [...]

You & Me Against The World

Monday, November 17th, 2008

It was extremely foggy for a lot of the day yesterday. I took the opportunity to take some fog-oriented shots, such as the one above. This is a farm field out E. Santiam St.

Baser Instincts

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

These nifty trees live on N. Evergreen Ave., near Salem Ditch (I posted a photo of that the other day). They were next to some sort of garden.
