Located in Oregon, USA, featuring Stayton and other nearby towns in the Willamette Valley.
Surround Me
It’s time once again for my favorite oak trees in town, which live behind the hospital off of 10th Ave. I caught them not long before the sun set, and the lighting was beautiful. Mother Nature did a fine job.
In other news, today a variety of Christmas-related things are happening around town — a Toys For Tots car show and breakfast at the fire department, a craft bazaar at the middle school, and the tree lighting on 3rd Ave., next to the Gardner House. I’m going to do my best to attend all three, so if you see a short, round female person with a camera and a perpetual half-asleep look on her face, that will most likely be me. Say hi. If I’m awake enough, I may say hi back.

If you were able to look to the left of yesterday’s photo, you would have seen the above. Which is what you’re seeing now, so I guess you can, after all.

Boedigheimer Road

I went out with the intent of going further down Boedigheimer Rd., which is just outside of Stayton, than I’d been previously. Instead, I made it to the top of the first hill and found it was so windy, I could hardly keep my scooter upright. As you can see in the photo above, it’s More >
A Historic Moment Itself

Guest photographer Patrick noticed this nice bit of irony last week outside the Santiam Historical Museum. His description: I took this photo last week. In my own little world I saw the photo as ironic: a sizable tree (with history to it) was being removed from in front of the Historical Society Museum. Anyway, thought More >
Drift On Forever Seeking

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 >

Yep, a sunset. It wasn’t intentional, but I happened by this scene, and I had to take pictures. It would be wrong if I didn’t. I took this on the corner of 3rd Ave. and Fern Ridge Rd.

I’ve been ill this week, so going out and taking pictures hasn’t been working out. I took this in mid-July at Campbell-Grier Cemetery just outside of town.

Guest photographer John Brandt took today’s photo of a dead tree (or part of a tree) in Wilderness Park he doesn’t expect to survive another winter. I haven’t been through that park in some time. I really need to do it again very soon. Once the temperature cools down a bit, that is.
Won’t You Come And Wash Away The Rain

I took this the other night at Campbell-Grier Cemetery, just outside of Stayton. The silhouette is part of a metal decoration of a girl holding up a flower. That flower looks like a sun in silhouette, which made me think of the song “Black Hole Sun” by Soundgarden, which led to using part of the More >
Beautiful Oak

Guest photographer Terri Jo Adams sent in today’s photo of a lovely tree at Lone Oak Cemetery. Her description: This isn’t all that unusual of a picture, I just have always thought this was one of the most beautiful Oak trees I’ve ever seen….. It is beautiful. I always enjoy looking at the trees there. More >

I apologize for yet another sunset photo. I haven’t been able to go out and take photos much lately, so I’m presently stuck with a whole lotta nothin’. I’ll try to get a little somethin’ as soon as I can. That last sentence sounded a lot more innocent in my head. This photo was taken More >

Thanks to both of you. These trees are awesome. They’re one of my favorite things to photograph.
John, the only thing I did was make sure the sun was behind one of the branches and then I took the photo. Well, several photos, but this one is my favorite. Then I clicked the shutter… all auto settings.
