We interrupt your regularly scheduled garden tour post (see yesterday and the day before) to bring you this month’s City Daily Photo theme day, which I had completely forgotten about until yesterday.
The theme is “empty.” I couldn’t take a picture of the inside of my head, so instead I swung by the playground of [...]

Here’s another garden from the ninth annual Santiam Heritage Foundation garden tour to benefit the Brown House (see also: Moles’ End). This garden is on Marion St., near Pioneer Park. I had no idea there could be so much behind the house I’d passed by so many other times. [...]

Yesterday was the ninth annual Santiam Heritage Foundation garden tour to benefit the Brown House. I visited five places in all, and took a ton of photos. I thought I’d spread them out over several days, because the gardens were just too beautiful to cram them all into one [...]
I endeavored to actually post a non-flower photo today, since tomorrow and probably the next day will be flower-intensive. I’ll be attending the ninth annual garden tour to benefit the Brown House today, which means lots of flowers.
This building sits along the power canal off of Water St. It’s behind another building, near a small [...]
I had grand plans to go out and take lots of photos yesterday, but real life kind of came along and put a stop to that. Instead, I popped out for a few minutes and ended up taking more flower photos. I can’t help myself.
These daises were found at the outside edge of the parking [...]
I’ve been waiting for my orange Asiatic lily plant to bloom all year. And now it has. And there are still buds on it, so it will again. Yay.
We have a new guest photographer today! Kari Baker sent in this lovely photo taken at Silver Falls State Park, which is about 15 miles outside of Stayton. Her description:
We were up at Silver Falls last weekend and I liked this rock up at the North Falls. He seemed like a cheery fellow and looked [...]

Last night a benefit concert was held at the Star Cinema for Ken Cartwright, in order to help pay for some medical bills associated with some recent health problems. Ken, for those who don’t know, has done quite a lot for the Stayton area community, including [...]
Here’s a random rose taken randomly at the edge of a random yard on Ida St. This random yard had a lot of lovely random roses.
Randomly, I’m also looking for some random guest photographers to submit a random Stayton-area photo or thirty.
This is a macro of some water droplets on an Asiatic lily. I went to the far away location of my backyard to take this. I know, you’re very impressed. The water droplets are courtesy of a mist-producing water bottle.
I haven’t been feeling well as of late, so my photo jaunts have been few and [...]
I found these California poppies were growing along the edge of a yard on Ida St. on Friday. Pretty little flowers, they are.
Two. There was also a guy in the truck down below. I took this on Washington St., next to the A&W Restaurant.
Guest photographer Jon Goodman sent in today’s photo. His description:
I liked this faded wall on the Masonic Hall on 3rd St. The painted over electrical service and the weeds add to the feeling of age and decay
That is definitely a great wall. Thanks, Jon!

I won a prize from a drawing held at the spiffy Haweiniefest fundraiser (see photos) at Postal Connections, which was held last Saturday. This little mini UPS truck is absolutely adorable, complete with a flame paint job. I love it.
In other news, Stayton Events posted a video taken by the Oregon Department of Transportation, showing [...]
I stopped by to pick up a basket of strawberries at a stand in the Ace Hardware parking lot yesterday, and this beautiful little creature was hanging out in the middle of everything. I think it’s a Lorquin Admiral, but I’ve been known to be wrong. I think I might actually be right about this [...]
