I took this a few days ago of the beautifully named Salem Ditch, a man made waterway which runs through town. This particular view of it is off of 4th Ave., facing east. There are still bits of autumn color around, and I am drawn to them. I simply cannot resist.

Guest photographer Jon Goodman sent in today’s photo. His description:
During a rare sunbreak Wednesday I got out for my walk and found these mushrooms growing on a rotting log behind pioneer park.
Very cool. They look like little pumpkins. Thanks to Jon for sending in another nifty photo.

Oh, look, I’m posting another photo of trees. But I’ve been ill so I have an excuse. Or maybe I just love trees. Or both.
I took this on Shaff Rd., across from Bi-Mart. No, unlike yesterday’s photo, I did not stop in the middle of the road to take this photo. I would have been [...]

Yesterday I’d hoped to post a photo of something else, but I wasn’t feeling well yesterday and didn’t get it finished. Instead, I’m posting a photo I took a handful of days ago on Gardner Ave. The trees were pretty.
For the record, yes, I stopped on my scooter and took a photo in the middle [...]

I took this somewhere over in the Westtown area. The photo above was rotated 90 degrees (the original is at right – click on it to see it larger) because it just seems to work better that way.
I’m going to try to post something non-leaves oriented tomorrow. I actually have a bit of a research [...]

Guest photographer Debbie D. Dodd sent in today’s gorgeous photo of the North Santiam River, as taken a bit south of Stayton. All those autumn trees are just beautiful.
The photo at right (click on it to see it larger) was taken in a field of ferns Debbie spotted which was growing in a shady spot [...]

I threatened raised the possibility I might post another photo from the same tree which was in yesterday’s photo. While that is true, yesterday’s leaves had already fallen on the ground, and today’s are still on the tree, so it’s pretty much entirely different. Yep.
Again, this photo was taken in the parking lot of Santiam [...]

Okay, so… see, here’s the thing. There are still some autumn leaves hanging around on the trees. And I happened to be face-to-face with this tree in the parking lot of Santiam Memorial Hospital on 10th Ave. yesterday. And of course I had my camera. And I feel like starting another sentence with the word [...]

Yesterday, I received an email from frequent guest photographer Hugo (the last two days’ photos are from him) saying “if’n y’all get desperate for another daily photo” I could post this one. Like I would pass this up. It’s awesome.
Hugo took this at Wallace Marine Park in nearby West Salem.
Thanks once again, Hugo.

We have a new guest photographer today! John Brandt sent in today’s lovely image of the diversion channel between Stayton Ditch and the North Santiam River in Wilderness Park. I love the autumn colors on the trees.
Thank you, John… you’re welcome to submit any time.
If anyone is interested in submitting a guest photo (which would [...]

I took this on E. Florence St. the other day. There are a fair amount of autumn leaves on the ground right now, so it seems fitting.

This gorgeous bright orange/red tree — I think it’s some sort of maple — lives on Dawn Dr. I wanted to take it home and make it my own, but I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t fit in my scooter.

This building lives on the corner of 3rd Ave. and E. Florence St. This is a side view of… well, read the title. The building isn’t really this bright blue… I played with the saturation and kind of went overboard. But it’s definitely blue.
If I have my buildings straight, I posted a photo of the [...]

I love this old building. I’ve posted photos of it before (and here and here), but this is the first time I’ve done it with autumn-colored trees, so that makes it completely different.
In related news, I’ve created a video slideshow of some of my autumn foliage photos. View it below:
The leaves around town [...]

This gigantic tree lives beside the Bird & Hat Inn on the corner of 3rd Ave. and E. Virginia St. I love it.
