Looking For Someone To Hold

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

Welcome to the last post of 2008! Here we have some trees. Barren trees. Winter trees.
Have a safe and happy new year, everyone. See ya next year.
Note: I made the switch yesterday from Blogger to WordPress — please let me know if anything doesn’t work. I’m still working out the kinks. I’m only vaguely aware [...]

Random Sky Shot

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

Blogger is having FTP publishing difficulties, so even though I’ve been posting every day, the blog has only been publishing sporadically. I apologize, but there’s nothing I can do on my end.
Anyway, this is a truly random sky shot I took a couple of evenings ago. The sky was pretty. I like pretty.

Night Lights

Monday, December 29th, 2008

I actually got away from the house last night, even if it was only to go to the grocery store. I took this photo off of 3rd Ave., looking out over Lakeside Assisted Living, while I was out and about.

Life Is A Maze

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

The snow is all but gone now (it’s been replaced by a lot of rain), but I still can’t get out and take photos. So here’s another snow shot. Yay.
If anyone out there has Stayton area photos you would like to share, please send them along (site [at] specialweb.com or celine.chamberlin [at] gmail.com). I’d love [...]

Afterthought

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

The snow is mostly melted at my house, but that doesn’t mean I can’t post at least one more snow photo. I still haven’t been able to go out and take pictures (it’s been two weeks since I’ve gone anywhere outside of my neighborhood to shoot)… I hope I can rectify that this weekend or [...]

Rutted

Friday, December 26th, 2008

I discovered a late last night my blog hadn’t updated since the 23rd, so my Christmas Eve and Christmas day posts didn’t get posted like they should have been. Which is a bit of a bummer. I apologize… Blogger’s update thing must have been wacky. They’re up now.
In other news, we had a wee bit [...]

Merry Christmas!

Thursday, December 25th, 2008

Ho, ho, and triple ho, it’s Christmas. I hope each of you is having a safe and festive day, whether you celebrate Christmas, another holiday, or absolutely no holiday at all. Be joyous, be merry, be your general spiffy self.
I want to thank all of you who’ve visited over the last 2.5 years, and have [...]

Merry Christmas Eve!

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

Merry Christmas Eve to all who celebrate the day, and to everyone in general — I hope you have a happy day.
I don’t normally post photos of my pets on this blog — I kind of have a rule against it, actually — but desperate times call for desperate measures. I still can’t go anywhere, [...]

Frozen Landscape

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

So. It snowed again. And this wasn’t the pretty snow of the other day. This snow was all over the place, and it was icy, and it was incredibly annoying.
I went out for only a few minutes to take photos yesterday. I’m still stuck at home, since my scooter can’t go in snow. I really [...]

Better Than Hair Spray

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

Everything just kind of froze yesterday. All the trees and plants had thick layers of ice covering them, and freezing rain kept on falling from the sky.
I had planned on taking a trip to the grocery store yesterday, but didn’t feel like slip sliding all over the roads. Oh, and I should mention the wind [...]

Stay Frosty

Sunday, December 21st, 2008

More snow photos from Friday (see yesterday’s post for more). The photo above is of some snow-covered Douglas-Fir trees, and the photo at right is a couple of plastic sleds some neighbor kids were using.
We may have more snow today… or we may not. Stayton hasn’t been getting hit as hard as some places here [...]

Winter Road

Saturday, December 20th, 2008

We had a few inches of snow yesterday, which meant there were various children outside, squealing and sledding and all that good stuff.
The photo above is Fern Ridge Rd., which I can testify was rather slippery. Cars seemed to be handling it okay, but it was tough to walk on. The photo at right is [...]

Snow Day

Friday, December 19th, 2008

We had snow…ish weather again yesterday. It wasn’t full on snow, but more like snow pellets, I guess. Either way, it made things white.
On a side note, thanks to the cool folks at Stayton Cooperative Telephone Company and Willamette Valley Internet for quickly finding out the cause of my phone and internet connection being down [...]

Golden Light

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

As we near Christmas (It’s only a week away! Ack!), I figured I should post some shots of holiday lights. And since I haven’t been able to go anywhere to take photos over the last several days (It’s been far too cold! Ack!), at least part of the photos of said holiday lights will come [...]

Snowberry

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

The snow which fell on Sunday is all gone at my house, but I did snag a photo of a snowberry, so that’s close enough, right? Actually, the background is snow, since I took it on Saturday, but since that part’s blurred, you really can’t tell.
Yeah, like all that matters. Don’t mind me, [...]
