Oink

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

I spotted this graffiti of a pig on a mail box at an apartment complex across the street from the public high school on Locust St. the other day. I don’t know why one would choose a pig as a subject, but the curled tail is a nice touch.
I’m not a fan of graffiti, and [...]

Toews Studio & Used Books

Friday, February 27th, 2009

Yesterday, I posted a photo of the windows on the second story above the Paul Toews Art Studio / Friends of the Library Used Book Store on 3rd Ave in downtown Stayton. I figured I should also post a photo of the actual storefront, too. Maybe I should have done that in reverse, now that [...]

Order In Chaos

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

These windows are on the second story of a building in “historic” downtown Stayton, on 3rd Ave. They’re above the Paul Toews Art Studio / Friends of the Library Used Book Store.
I tried to figure out how old this building is on the Stayton / Sublimity Chamber of Commerce web site, but couldn’t figure out [...]

The Yellow Window

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

This is a random window on side of the New Hope Community Church on 2nd Ave. It’s yellow. I like yellow.

S T A R

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

I’ve posted photos of the neon sign on the Star Cinema movie theater on 3rd Ave., but I adore it, so I’m doing it again. Part of the neon is in need of repair, which isn’t surprising. That sign has been around for many decades, and is in remarkably good shape, considering its age.

Triple Play

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

I took today’s photo on W. Locust St. looking south across some train tracks into an industrial area of some sort. I have no idea what sort, but I do know I’d love to wander around in there and take pictures. There is a lot of cool stuff behind the fence.

Away Across The Universe

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

Today’s photo was taken on the corner of W. Washington St. and Larch Ave., looking south. I think it’s part of a power canal which runs through town. If anyone has better info on it, I’d be most appreciative.
I used to live down the street (on Larch Ave.) from this part of the canal (or [...]

Nothing’s Gonna Change My World

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

This is part of Salem Ditch, an irrigation ditch which runs from Stayton to Salem, as seen looking east on 2nd Ave. I’ve probably posted a view of this before. I lose track.
I’ll be posting another view of the ditch tomorrow. At least, I think it’s part of the ditch. I’ll have to look that [...]

Rusty Rear

Friday, February 20th, 2009

From the truly random file comes today’s photo of the back end of a really rusty truck I found parked on 3rd Ave. the other day. I like rust, and am drawn to it like a moth to a flame.

Bridge To Somewhere

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

This footbridge at Pioneer Park spans the creek which runs through the park. It runs parallel to Jordan Bridge, from which I took this photo.

Zigs & Zags

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

I took this sunset shot on the north end of Wilco Rd., looking towards a cellular tower in the middle of a farm field. And a telephone pole with wires. And a speed limit sign. And bushes. Gosh, how action-packed is this photo? Totally action-packed, I’d have to say.

Drama Class

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

The sky was rather pretty last night, so I couldn’t help but take a picture. Nothing is more beautiful than what nature offers… not that I can do it justice with my camera, but I do try.

Happy Presidents’ Day

Monday, February 16th, 2009

Today is Presidents’ Day here in the United States. I didn’t happen to have a photo of a president on hand, so here’s an American flag instead. Yay. It’s my neighbor’s flag… I always like to look down the street and see it waving in the breeze.

Jordan Bridge Interior

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

Today’s photo is an interior shot of my favorite Stayton subject, the Stayton-Jordan Bridge at Pioneer Park. I do love that bridge.

Got Love Oregon

Saturday, February 14th, 2009

Today is not only Valentine’s Day, but also Oregon’s 150th birthday. I tried to combine the two for today’s photo, because I do love Oregon. Yes, I am biased, and no, I don’t care.
