Yellow & Lots Of It
Sep 30th
I spotted this cheery spot of yellow outside Jensen-Kreitzer on 3rd Ave. the other day. The weather is starting to change into autumn, so I’ve been looking for any remnants of summer I can.
What Happens Now
Sep 29th
Continuing my fascination with motorcycles, here’s another photo of another motorcycle. I should create a subcategory for them, so I’ve taken a fair amount photos of them.
I spotted this bike outside of Freres Building Supply on 1st Ave.
What These Palettes Would Look Like If They Were About To Tip Over
Sep 28th
You know, in case you were wondering.
These non-crooked palettes were sitting outside the Grocery Outlet on Ida St. the other day. And I, being of the off balance variety, naturally decided they looked better on the diagonal.
Dining Out
Sep 27th
Once again, I’m taking advantage of there still being flowers out and about before it gets colder. I spotted these pretty purple flowers yesterday at the edge of someone’s yard on Wyatt Ave. in the Westtown area of Stayton. I feel like I should know the name of this flower, but it just isn’t coming to me.
On The Inside
Sep 26th
I am definitely on a sunset kick lately. If that’s not your thing, I apologize. If it is your thing, then I’m glad you’re here.
I took this silhouette of some queen anne’s lace flowers near the corner of 3rd Ave. and Fern Ridge Rd. a couple of nights ago.
Star * Star
Sep 25th
I happened by the Star Cinema on 3rd Ave. a couple of days ago, and noticed they have repaired their awesome neon sign. The last time I noticed it, some of the letters were dark. I have no idea when that happened, but I’m very glad they did. The people who run the Star do a wonderful job.
Hot Stuff
Sep 24th
As I threatened promised yesterday, here’s another shot of the sunset from two nights ago. I took this one just off of 6th Ave., behind the hospital.
I found out why the sky has been so hazy the last couple of days. There are some wild fires down south, and the smoke has been traveling up the valley.
Forever More
Sep 23rd
I know this is the third sunset photo I’ve posted in less than a week, but sky was absolutely gorgeous last night, and I couldn’t pass it up. For whatever reason, there was a lot of haze in the air, and it made everything very orange, and the sun was just popping. I may post another shot of the sunset tomorrow.
I took this from 1st Ave., looking over what I think is a greenhouse in Regis Field.
Dinner For Two
Sep 22nd
I figured I wouldn’t have many chances left to take flower photos before autumn really sets in, so here are some cute little yellow daisies with a couple of flies on them. You know, in case you were looking at the photo and wondering what they heck it was of and needed a verbose description. If so, I should point out the main insect is a hoverfly and not a bee, as far as I know. I should also point out it looks better when viewed larger, so click on the image and then click ‘all sizes’.
I took this next to the power canal off of 4th Ave.
Twinkle
Sep 21st
I posted a photo yesterday of the sunset a couple of nights ago, and decided to do it again today. This one was taken from the cemetery on 3rd Ave.
