DP Theme Day: Passageway

Monday, March 1st, 2010

For this month’s City Daily Photo theme day — passageway — I did what I normally do, which is forget completely about it and then take a photo on the last possible day. At least I’m consistent.
This photo was taken at the entrance to the main forest pathway at Wilderness Park. It’s the first thing [...]

DP Theme Day: Wood

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Today is the February 1st City Daily Photo theme day: wood. I almost posted a photo of some trees (they are wood, after all), but at the last minute I decided to go with the above photo instead.
These two wooden toys have been passed down from generation to generation in my family for decades. The [...]

DP Theme Day: Changes

Friday, January 1st, 2010

NOTE: sorry, I accidentally put 2009 as the date and not 2010, so this went up late. I apologize.
Today is this month’s City Daily Photo theme day: changes. Frequent guest photographer Hugo sent in the photo above, and it worked well for the theme. Construction crews have been working on revamping and improving the overpass [...]

DP Theme Day: Waiting

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Today is this month’s City Daily Photo theme day, with the theme “Waiting.” I felt a photo of a Salvation Army bell ringer to be appropriate for the theme, since these volunteers ring their bells and wait for donations, often in the cold, as it was yesterday when I took this photo. Check out the [...]

DP Theme Day: Doorways

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

Today is the November 1st City Daily Photo theme day, and “doorways” is the topic. My photo is something of an unconventional take on it. A drunk driver plowed through the Chase Bank on the corner of 1st Ave. and Locust St. a few days ago, and created an impromptu doorway of his own with [...]

DP Theme Day: Contrast

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Today is the monthly City Daily Photo theme day, and our theme is “contrast.” I have to confess I didn’t have a clue what to post… I thought literal contrast, conceptual contrast, and in the end I went with a photo I took about a week ago of a hazy sunset due to some wildfires [...]

DP Theme Day: Big

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Today is the September 1st City Daily Photo theme day. I thought about what to post for today’s theme day for most of August, but wasn’t really getting anywhere. Stayton’s a small town, and there’s not much here one might call “big.” That is, until I looked out the window a couple of days ago [...]

DP Theme Day: Night

Saturday, August 1st, 2009

This month’s City Daily Photo theme day is “night.” I suppose this sunset is right on the edge of day and night, but since the sun had already gone over the horizon, I’m classifying it as night. Live with it.
I took this photo from the corner of Fern Ridge Rd. and 3rd Ave.
As [...]

DP Theme Day: Empty

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

We interrupt your regularly scheduled garden tour post (see yesterday and the day before) to bring you this month’s City Daily Photo theme day, which I had completely forgotten about until yesterday.
The theme is “empty.” I couldn’t take a picture of the inside of my head, so instead I swung by the playground of [...]

DP Theme Day: Feet

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

This month’s City Daily Photo theme day is “feet.” I didn’t have the faintest idea what to do for this one, until I was in Postal Connections on Shaff Rd. the other day and noticed all their adorable stuffed animals for sale. They have feet, hence the mosaic above. Lots of furry little feet.
A whole [...]

DP Theme Day: Yellow

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

It’s the City Daily Photo theme day once again. This month’s theme of “yellow” was rather easy. Lovely yellow daffodils are everywhere around Stayton at the moment, so it was an obvious choice.
Tomorrow, I’ll be posting an alternate theme day photo. I didn’t use it for today’s because it’s part of a building I used [...]

DP Theme Day: Glass

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

Today is the monthly City Daily Photo theme day. I’m sure I’m not the only one to choose a stained glass window to fit the theme of “glass”… but since such windows are so pretty, it’s a fitting choice.
This window is on the front of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church on 6th Ave., across from [...]

DP Theme Day: Paths and Passages

Sunday, February 1st, 2009

Today is this month’s City Daily Photo theme day. Our theme this time around is “paths and passages.” My photo is looking south on a small street bridge on 2nd Ave. (the same bridge from which I took yesterday’s photo). The building on the left is an apartment building, but is locally known as the [...]

DP Theme Day: Best Photo of the Year

Thursday, January 1st, 2009

Today is once again the City Daily Photo theme day. Since it’s the first day of the new year, our theme is to post our “best photo of the year 2008.”
I chose the one above, which is of the South Falls at Silver Falls State Park (see the original post). It’s been one of my [...]

DP Theme Day: Books

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

Today is the November 1st City Daily Photo theme day, and this month’s theme is “books.”
I love books. We have a house full of them. There’s something comforting about having them nearby, ready to be read whenever I have the time.
The photo above was taken at a used book sale in early October, put on [...]
