I was down by the library on 1st Ave. when I spotted an Oregon-grape shrub on its way to bloom. Oregon-grape (sometimes spelled Oregon grape, without the hyphen) is Oregon’s state flower. I’m going to try to watch for when it is in bloom, so I can get another photo.
For more info on Oregon-grape, see [...]
I’m cheating and posting a second tree blossom photo this week. And to make matters worse, I can’t remember where I took this particular photo. I’m just up to no good today, it seems.
I took this photo of my favorite oak trees located behind the hospital off of 10th Ave. a couple of weeks ago, but didn’t get around to posting it. It was foggy that day. So I took a picture.
It is odd to have daffodils in bloom… like the tree blossoms I posted yesterday, it seems to be about a month early. I wonder how our mild winter will affect the coming months.
This photo was taken on the top of the hill on 10th Ave.
Spring seems to have come a bit early this year. Tree blossoms, like those shown above, are sprouting up around town. I took this particular photo in the parking lot of Stayton Cooperative Telephone Company on 2nd Ave.
We have a photo from guest photographer Moe today. His description:
Took this [last] Tuesday at Phillips. Kinda looks like an ole buzzard picking away at the remains of Phillips Industry. We should get used to seeing this kind of activity.
Thanks for the photo, Moe. I haven’t been by the Phillips plant since they announced it [...]
Today brings the final installment of my road trip to the central Oregon coast. This is another shot from a beach in Newport of some dog walkers and little dog… it just made me smile to see it.
Here’s an aerial view of the beach on Google Maps.
I’ve created a photoset at Flickr of my various [...]
Here’s another installment from my central Oregon coast road trip. I’ve decided to make it an even week, so there will be another post tomorrow.
These shots of waves was taken a bit south of Depoe Bay, if I remember correctly. Click on the photo at right to make it bigger. I had never taken photos [...]
Today’s photo from my road trip to the central Oregon coast shows some fishing boats in the marina at Yaquina Bay in Newport. We’d come down there to see some sea lions (say that three times fast), but they were all hanging out back behind a building. Darn them. The photo at right is of [...]
And here we are at part four of my mid-Oregon coast road trip (see also: Yaquina Bay Bridge, a Newport beach at sunset, and a pier at Siletz Bay, this time stopping in at Depoe Bay. I keep wanting to spell that as Depot, which is so very wrong. I shall try to refrain.
This is [...]
Today is the third part of my trip to the central Oregon coast (see also: part 1 – Yaquina Bay Bridge, and part 2 – Newport beach at sunset).
This is a small pier behind Mo’s Restaurant in Lincoln City. I’m a bit confused as to geography, but I think this is the edge of Siletz [...]
Today is the second day of photos from my road trip to the Oregon coast on Sunday (see also: day 1 – Yaquina Bay Bridge). This photo of my nephew and his girlfriend was taken on a beach in Newport, about an hour before sunset. I have no idea which beach… I wasn’t driving and [...]
I went to the Oregon coast on Sunday for a day trip, so I thought it might be fun to post some of the photos I took. We went to Lincoln City, Depoe Bay, and Newport, so I’ll probably post at least one photo from each of those places over the next few days.
Today’s photo [...]
Guest photographer Jon Goodman sent in today’s photo of a wall of the old Stayton Feed building. I think that sits on 4th Ave., near where it meets Water St. I could be wrong.
Thanks to Jon, as always.

In honor of it being Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d post something adorable for today. These stuffed bears were at Postal Connections on Shaff Rd. the other day, and it’s hard to pass up this much cute. So I didn’t try.
