Nothing terribly exciting today, just some U-Haul trailers I spotted hanging out on E. Florence St. The title refers to the various states the trailers came from.
Snow There, Not Here
Dec 30th
The weather ’round these parts went kind of wacky. The Portland area saw a fair bit of snow, but at my house here in Stayton we saw a couple minutes of light flakes and then we were through. That’s boring, though, so today I’m posting a photo my brother took with his cell/mobile phone in McMinnville, which is about 45 miles northwest of Stayton.
Yes, that is the top of a mail box in the foreground. My brother’s a mail carrier, so that’s the view he had when I asked him to send the photo. But, hey, snow!
Stand True

The other day, after I lamented not being able to post Christmas-related photos until next December, Hugo commented the Jordan Bridge, a covered bridge at Pioneer Park, is always waiting for me. That inspired me to go take a picture of my favorite Stayton landmark and most frequent photo subject.
Thanks for the awesome suggestion, Hugo. I hadn’t posted a photo of the bridge since July. That’s way too long. 
Old Rusted Chevy
Dec 28th
I spotted this old truck next to Dale’s Auto Body on Washington St. a couple of days ago. It looks like it’s seen a lot of time outside.
Late Afternoon At The A&W
Dec 27th
The sun created some nifty shadows in the parking lot at the A&W Restaurant on Washington St. yesterday. The pavement was kind of frosty due to the cold, moist air, which also made for an interesting texture on the ground.
Note: I changed the permalink structure on the blog. I don’t think it will break any links, but if you notice anything out of whack, please let me know. Thanks.
Threadbare
Dec 26th
Okay, so yesterday I kinda lied. I said I wasn’t going to post any Christmas-related photos until next December. I was so wrong.
Today’s photo is a detail macro of a Christmas decoration, but it doesn’t really look like it’s a Christmas decoration, so I figured why the heck not. It’s Christmas as I write this, so I don’t have the chance to go out and do something else.
By the way, as of today I’m trying a slightly larger size for each post’s photos. Let me know if this causes problems for any of you (mostly silent) folks out there.
Merry Christmas!
Dec 25th
I hope everyone is having a great day today, whether you celebrate Christmas or are just enjoying the start of the weekend. Take care, all, and stay safe out there.
Meanwhile, I’ll be in mourning because I won’t be able to post anymore Christmas-oriented photos until next December.

Merry Christmas Eve, to all who celebrate the day. I spotted this lighted Christmas decoration along Ida St., and thought it would be fitting to post today.
Frosty’s Gone Fishin’
Dec 23rd
This is adorable — someone actually put a boat in their front yard as part of their holiday display. Frosty the Snowman has a fishing pole and presents loaded in the boat. I love it. Makes me want to buy a boat so I can copy it.
I spotted this just off of 3rd Ave.
Jolly Pink Santa
Dec 22nd
It’s the latest in North Pole fashion, don’t ya know. Santa always tries to stay up on all the latest trends.
I spotted this on the window of a convenience store on 1st Ave.
