This man was sitting in the grass while his dog played in the water at Pioneer Park the other day. So I took a picture. And posted it here.

(Click here to see my Flickr photoset from the concert!) Last night was the second of two free summer concerts held at Pioneer Park, this time featuring The Oregon Valley Boys, an Oregon-based western swing band.

It’s been a remarkably long time since I last posted a photo of my favorite Stayton landmark (February, to be exact), so it’s high time to do it again. Oh, Jordan Bridge at Pioneer Park, I just can’t stay away. You call to me like a siren’s song. Or that could be tinnitus. Whichever. Speaking More >

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 >

The little girl who owns this wagon was off playing with her dad, giggling and having a great time. It’s More >

It’s been a remarkably long time since I last posted a flower photo (nine whole days!), so here’s another one. I took this photo at the edge of Pioneer Park, near the big rock at the entrance. I thought I knew what it was, but a Google search proved me wrong. So I don’t have More >

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 >

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 >

Great picture, Jon! Thanks for passing it on Celine. Boy, you sure “hang out”with talented and gifted artists.
But, I guess talent attracts talent.
Thank you for sharing it with us.
