Continuing the moss theme from yesterday, here is a macro (close up) photo of… moss! Yes, you read that right, day two of the moss theme is indeed of moss. Bet you didn’t see that coming!
So, anyway… moss. I’d never really looked too closely at it, despite it being all over the place where I [...]
Visitor Mel suggested I photograph some moss, which I thought was a great idea. So yesterday I went moss hunting, and found this lovely bit of green on a tree along 10th Ave. I might post another moss-oriented photo tomorrow.
Thanks, Mel, for the idea! I appreciate it.
These Douglas-Fir trees live at Pioneer Park. Douglas-Firs are all over the place in this part of Oregon, and I adore them. I love all trees, really, but these are my favorites. So tall and grand.
I took this off the end of E. Jefferson St., looking east. I had thought about posting it for yesterday’s theme day, but went with something else instead. So today we have trees. In a field. In black and white. And a description with sentence fragments. Exciting.
It wasn’t the best day for it, since the weather was pretty drab, but I stopped and took some photos of the Santiam River from the bridge a couple of days ago, where it passes under Stayton-Scio Road. This is the view facing east. I wanted to get a shot facing west, but there were [...]
It’s time once again for my favorite oak trees in town, which live behind the hospital off of 10th Ave. I caught them not long before the sun set, and the lighting was beautiful. Mother Nature did a fine job.
In other news, today a variety of Christmas-related things are happening around town — a Toys [...]
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 [...]
I didn’t set out to take another sunset photo, but this was staring me in the face two nights ago, so I had to take the picture.
Speaking of that, I am very short on photos at the moment, so if anyone is interested in submitting one or more guest photos, that would be more than [...]
