Momentary Pause

This is my last water-oriented photo for now (see also the last several days). This is a view of the lovely Salem Ditch, looking from 3rd Ave. to the bridge on 4th Ave. If you look closely (click on the image to see it larger), there is a person standing on the far bridge, looking out over the water.

Beautiful!

I will never forget the first time I came to Stayton in 2007, and stopped at the library to use a computer… and fell in love with the town instantly, because of the ditch that runs right next to the library. It was one of those amazing sunny days with a temp in the 50s in March… and the water was bubbling along its path… simply enrapturing.

Oh, how I miss Oregon! Thanks for sharing its beauty daily!

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

about 2 weeks ago - No comments

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 >

Just The Two Of Us

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.

Snag

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.

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 >

Countryside

Stayton is almost completely surrounded by country roads (the exception is the north side where Sublimity is located, not far down the road). There are a lot of scenes like the one above — trees, grass, and clouds. I took this particular shot along Kingston-Jordan Dr., just south of town, over the weekend.

4th Anniversary of Stayton Daily Photo

about 3 months ago - 8 comments

I am not the most consistent of people. Four years ago, when I made the impulse decision to start this photoblog after seeing a few other City Daily Photo blogs, I was fully convinced I would do it for a few months, and then I would fizzle out on it like I do most other More >

Green-ness

Green-ness is the state of being green. This view of my favorite power canal off of the south end of 4th Ave. fits the bill. Kermit the Frog ain’t got nothin’ on this.
