Lone Oak
Tuesday, December 15th, 2009I took this a handful of mornings ago when it was extra cold and frosty outside. This is the entrance to the Lone Oak Cemetery on 3rd Ave. I’ve taken photos of it before, but it’s nifty, so I did it again.
Marking The Passage Of Time
Saturday, November 14th, 2009Guest photographer Jon Goodman sent in today’s photo of a gravestone marker which is slowing being overtaken by moss. He found it at Lone Oak Cemetery, which sits on the corner of 3rd Ave. and Fern Ridge Rd. Well seen, Jon… an image like this really says a lot about the passage of time. Thank [...]
Jumbled
Thursday, May 28th, 2009These plastic flower vases were near the shed at Lone Oak Cemetery when I stopped the other day to take a photo for Memorial Day. These vases are used to put flowers in so folks can place them on graves.
I think I may have posted a photo of them before, come to think of it. [...]
Remembering
Monday, May 25th, 2009Today is the US holiday Memorial Day (read the Wikipedia entry to find out what it entails). I stopped by Lone Oak Cemetery, which is on the corner of 3rd Ave. and Fern Ridge Rd., yesterday to take this photo. A Stayton (our town was named for Drury Smith Stayton) family tombstone sits in the [...]
Campbell-Grier Cemetery
Monday, March 30th, 2009(Click here to see my Flickr photoset of the cemetery!)
I took a trip yesterday to the Campbell-Grier Cemetery, which sits just outside of Stayton along Boedigheimer Rd. It’s a lovely little place. If I’d realized it was so close, I would have gone a long time ago.
The cemetery is the burial place of Drury Smith [...]
Gated Community
Wednesday, February 4th, 2009This wrought iron railing frames the entrance to Lone Oak Cemetery on the north end of 3rd Ave. I took the photo a handful of nights ago when it was rather foggy, which combined with the glow from the lights of a power sub-station in the distance behind the railing to create a nifty glow [...]
Spray
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008The sprinklers were on at St. Mary’s Catholic Cemetery a few days ago when I passed by. I didn’t do the scene justice with my photo, but it was a lovely sight, with the water flying in the sunlight.
Time Of The Season
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008A year ago I posted a few photos of some fall blooming crocus at Lone Oak Cemetery on 3rd Ave. A couple of days ago, I happened by the flowers again, so I thought it might be fitting to post another photo or two.
A cute little bee was hanging around, so forgive me for going [...]
Cracking Up
Saturday, August 9th, 2008This is a bit of the wrought iron railing at the entrance of the Lone Oak Cemetery on the corner of 3rd Ave. and Fern Ridge Rd. I took an overall shot of it back in 2006.
Lone Oak Cemetery
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008This sign arches over the main entrance to the Lone Oak Cemetery on 3rd Ave. I passed by it as it was getting dark a couple of nights ago, and thought it looked nifty in silhouette.
Coneheads
Friday, April 25th, 2008I was poking around at Lone Oak Cemetery the other day and saw these cones sitting upside down and thought they were nifty. The cones are used to hold flowers to place on graves. The red wall behind it is part of a utility shed which sits on cemetery property. I posted a photo of [...]
Snow At The Cemetery
Thursday, January 31st, 2008Since most of the snow seems to have melted around here, I figured I’d post snow photos once more before moving on to other things. Today’s photos were taken at Lone Oak Cemetery on the corner of Fern Ridge Rd. and 3rd Ave.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for the February 1st city daily photo [...]
Lawn Ornament
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008This backhoe sits at the back of Lone Oak Cemetery. I hadn’t really paid attention to it until I went to the cemetery to take pictures in the fog. It’s a nifty old vehicle, with all kinds of interesting details. A couple of detail shots are below:
Cold And Lonely
Monday, January 14th, 2008Yesterday was cold and very foggy. What better place to take pictures during such weather than a cemetery?
This is the Lone Oak Cemetery on the corner of 3rd Ave. and Fern Ridge Rd. It’s actually a very peaceful place, but the tombstones, fog and the big, ominous looking tree made for an interesting mood.
Where You Lead
Monday, November 19th, 2007This is the stairway entrance to the St. Mary’s Catholic Cemetery on 3rd Ave. It leads to a pathway which leads to the main part of the cemetery. That big silver thing on the right is the town’s water tower.
Just past this stairway is where a lot of us in town sit to watch the [...]
