Into The Sunset

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

I took this on Tuesday evening. Tuesday was a dreary, drizzly day, so when I left to go to the store, I didn’t even take my camera with me (something I almost never do). But I got to the end of the my road and looked around, and saw a lovely strip of light at [...]

Zoom In

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Today’s photo is the last of three sent in by guest photographer Theresa Smith (owner of D-Tail Pet Grooming and all around talented photographer).
The photo is a very cool take on of one of the windows at the back of the now defunct Porter TV & Appliance on 3rd Ave. It was taken with a [...]

Dogwood

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Guest photographer Theresa Smith (owner of D-Tail Pet Grooming and all around talented photographer) sent in another lovely spring flower photo, this time of a dogwood tree flower. She took this with a Lensbaby Composer and a macro lens.
Be sure to visit another of her photos, which was posted yesterday. I’ll be posting one more [...]

Spring Flowers, Lensbaby Style

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Guest photographer Theresa Smith (owner of D-Tail Pet Grooming and all around talented photographer) sent today’s photo, which she took with a Lensbaby, which gives it that nifty blur effect.
She sent along a couple more photos taken with her Lensbaby which are equally as cool, so I’ll be posting them over the next couple of [...]

Fowl Lines

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

Today’s photo is another from the little duck pond in a manufactured home park off of Fern Ridge Rd. I like ducks. The joke here in Oregon is we’re all web-footed because we get a fair amount of rain (one of the Oregon college teams is even called the Ducks), so maybe I feel ducks [...]

Never Say Goodbye

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

Okay, I just can’t stop myself from posting another spring flower photo. It’s just one of those things. I’ve made my peace with it.

Gives Me Peace Of Mind

Friday, April 24th, 2009

This little bit of water and trees resides along Ida St. There are usually ducks hanging around, so I stop from time to time to see if I can get any photos of them. I only found one around the day I took this shot (he’s in the photo, just below and to the right [...]

Getting Married At The Bridge

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

Okay, technically, they were just getting their photos taken by the bridge, but there must have been a wedding involved at some point. I had popped by Pioneer Park, where Jordan Bridge is located, to take some photos, but it was overrun with people celebrating some sort of event. When I drove down by the [...]

Look What I Found Growing In My Backyard

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

It’s been three days since I last posted a photo of a spring flower, so it’s obviously time to do it again. I found this lovely creature growing in my backyard. I don’t know why it’s there, but it was a nice surprise.

Relics From The Past

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

This is a reflection of a parked train in the rear view mirror of my scooter, taken near the west end of Locust St. It’s always a bit tricky to get shots like this without getting myself or the camera in the shot.

The Castle In Springtime

Monday, April 20th, 2009

This awesome house on East Water St. is locally known as the castle because of its architecture. I posted a photo of it from the front last year. I decided to take another photo of it because it looks so pretty with the spring flowers lining the edge of the yard by the water. And [...]

Boldly

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

So… this is a flower. As far as I know, it’s a narcissus, but I don’t know if it’s a specific variety of narcissus. But it’s pretty, which is really what matters.
I took this near the big rock at the entrance to Pioneer Park.

Lighted Passage

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

I had to be out and about last night for a bit, so I took a few night shots during my trip. This is the front entrance to the New Hope Community Church on 2nd Ave.

More From the Campbell-Grier Cemetery

Friday, April 17th, 2009

(Click here to see my Flickr photoset of the cemetery!)
I posted some photos from the Campbell-Grier Cemetery late last month, but since I wasn’t able to spend much time there during my visit, I decided to head over there again. It’s such a beautiful and peaceful little place.
I’ve added sixteen new photos to my Flickr [...]

I’m Not Hiding

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

This nifty old window is on the back of what once upon a time was Porter TV & Appliance (I posted a front view last year). That’s my scooter helmet’s reflection floating in the upper left window pane.
