Marking The Passage Of Time
Guest photographer Jon Goodman sent in today’s photo of a gravestone marker which is slowing being overtaken by moss. He found it at Lone Oak Cemetery, which sits on the corner of 3rd Ave. and Fern Ridge Rd. Well seen, Jon… an image like this really says a lot about the passage of time. Thank you for submitting it.

Digging Up A Mystery

Guest photographer Jon Goodman has a question about the photo above: Found this weird rock embedded in the stump of an old apple tree we had dug out a couple weeks ago. It kind of looks like petrified rot. It is very sharp almost like a pumice stone. Any ideas about what it is? Heck More >

This assortment of items was left at the grave of someone buried in Lone Oak Cemetery. I bet there’s an interesting story behind why these particular things were left. For those who care, the beer is Drop Top Amber Ale, made by a brewery out of Portland, Oregon.

NOTE: I accidentally posted this a day early, because I screwed up the date. So here it is again. I apologize for being an idiot. In fact, can I just make that a permanent disclaimer? I took this photo at my nephew’s girlfriend’s parents house, somewhere between Stayton and Salem. Don’t ask me where, because More >
