Bringing Back History
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a photo of the restoration progress at the Charles & Martha Brown House. Looks like there have been some significant improvements to the exterior since July of last year, when I last posted a photo. I hope there will be another open house this year (see photos from last year’s open house).

Brick & Mortar & Glass
about 2 months ago - No comments
I wanted to buy a tree the other day, so I went to Yarnell Grower’s Outlet on 1st to get it. I didn’t really expect anyone in town to have this particular tree, but they had not one, but four. It was rather awesome. I didn’t take my camera into the nursery itself (I wasn’t More >
The Old Stayton Feed Building Has An Oopsie

In an effort to post something not involving flowers, I went out to take photos yesterday. Needless to say, most of what I shot was of flowers, but I did manage to sneak in a few other things. Not much, though. This buildings on E. Water St. has seen better days. It used to have More >
Library, Southwest Side
about 5 months ago - No comments
I took this shot of the Stayton Public Library a few weeks ago, so the trees have probably filled in more since then. I haven’t been able to go out and take photos in the last handful of days, so I’m having to reach back into my photo archives a bit.
The Brown House In White
about 6 months ago - 4 comments
It’s been several months since I last posted a progress update photo of the Charles & Martha Brown House, currently being renovated by a group of volunteers (read more about it on the Brown House web site). It’s come a long way since I last photographed it back in July of last year. New paint, More >
Sidewalk Concrete, Part 3
about 6 months ago - 2 comments
Today is the third part of the mini downtown sidewalk tour provided by guest photographer Jon Goodman (see also: part 1 and part 2). Today’s photo marks a sidewalk made in 1912. Jon’s description: Another crumbling memory from the past, this one on Florence St., alongside the old Stayton Hardware building. Thanks, Jon, for this More >
Sidewalk Concrete, Part 2
about 6 months ago - 2 comments
We have another downtown sidewalk photo from guest photographer Jon Goodman (see yesterday’s photo). His description: Another sidewalk shot. About 1910 apparently they were poring a lot of sidewalks downtown and one of the things they did was stencil the street names in the concrete. I’ve been paying more attention on my walks and have More >
Windows & Doors & A Tree & Leaves

This building lives on the corner of 3rd Ave. and E. Florence St. This is a side view of… well, read the title. The building isn’t really this bright blue… I played with the saturation and kind of went overboard. But it’s definitely blue. If I have my buildings straight, I posted a photo of More >
Autumn At The Old Garage
about 10 months ago - No comments
I love this old building. I’ve posted photos of it before (and here and here), but this is the first time I’ve done it with autumn-colored trees, so that makes it completely different. In related news, I’ve created a video slideshow of some of my autumn foliage photos. View it below: The leaves around town More >
Back In Black

Rumours Restaurant / Santiam Depot (I’m not sure exactly what’s it’s called nowadays, so let’s go with both) on 3rd Ave. got a fresh coat of paint sometime recently (it used to be blue), so of course that requires a photo. I thought I had a daytime photo of the old look, but it appears More >
No Parking At Any Time

I think the sign on this motorcycle shop, The Eagles Nest on 1st Ave., may mean only those on four wheels. Two-wheelers seem to get an exception.
