Spring is actually here. Some of the blossom trees have started to bloom around town, and I am officially a happy camper. I’m sure I’ll be posting more blossom photos before they’re through blooming for the season.

I took a trip yesterday to the Campbell-Grier Cemetery, which sits just outside of Stayton along Boedigheimer Rd. It’s a lovely little place. If I’d realized it was so close, I would have gone a long time ago.
The cemetery is the burial place of Drury Smith [...]
It’s spring, so by golly, I’m going to post some flower photos, even if I have to buy the flowers first. Which is what I did. This is some sort of daisy, I think. I lost the insert which said what it is.
This is one of the outside walls at the Stayton Family Memorial Pool on W. Virginia St. The windows make me think of large, upside down punctuation. Once again, I am easily amused.
It’s time once again for a photo of my favorite Stayton landmark, the Jordan Bridge at Pioneer Park. It’s not my fault it’s so photogenic. But this time the photo is totally different because there’s a person on it talking on a mobile phone! Yes, that makes it completely and totally okay that I last [...]
Guest photographer Hugo sent today’s absolutely beautiful photo. Here’s his description:
This was taken in the early morning hours at Walter L. Wirth Lake in Cascades Gateway Park in Salem. I really liked how the trees faded into the fog, in the background. I spend so much time at the lake that the ducks and geese [...]
Here’s part two of the train graffiti photos (see also: part one).
The photo at right is a perspective shot of the train itself. Part of it, anyway. It was really long. Click on it to see a bigger version.
Tomorrow I’ll post something non-graffiti related. By the way, I pulled a muscle or twenty in my [...]
I saw a super spiffy graffiti-covered train parked along Locust St. yesterday, so I stopped to take a few photos. I think I’ll post another tomorrow, since there were several cars on the train, which meant for more graffiti. And I haven’t had time to process some of the photos I took.
The photo at right [...]
I seem to be on a “black and white photos of trees” kick. This is one of my favorite oak trees which live behind the hospital.
I haven’t been able to go out and take many pictures lately, so I’m revisiting the farm field on E. Santiam St. I posted a couple of photos from last week. I like trees, so I tend to take photos of them a lot. That’s easy to do in Stayton, since there are a lot [...]
This nifty old shed sits in a field along Fern Ridge Rd., next to where it meets the west side of Highway 22. I posted a distant shot of it once back in 2006 (it was in the background), but I’ve never posted one of the shed specifically. I think. After almost three years of [...]
Spring is here. Finally. I spotted these lovely daffodils along the edge of someone’s yard on 2nd Ave. yesterday. Hi, spring. Nice to have you around.
This window sign is at Santiam Depot/Rumours Lounge on 3rd St. in downtown Stayton. The line “all order _r cook to order” makes me smile.
There’s a hill off to one side of E. Santiam St. with some houses on it, and from Santiam St. it looks like the houses are up in the trees. For no discernible reason, that made me giggle.
This barbed wire fence surrounds a farm field on E. Santiam St. I posted a photo of a tree from the same field a few days ago.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all.
