Suspended

I know clouds aren’t exactly unique to Stayton, but I like this photo, so I’m posting it. I took it from my favorite sky-watching spot on the top of the hill on 10th Ave.

Gently, As It Decends

Monday, March 8th, 2010

I happened by a row of cherry blossom trees on 3rd Ave. as the sun was setting a couple of nights ago, and this is the result. Well, one of the results, anyway. Can’t take just one photo of anything, ya know.

So Happy You’re Here

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

How about some shiny happy yellow daffodils for today? Because that’s what I’m posting. Take it, leave it, whatever works for you. This photo was taken in the exotic location of the Circle K parking lot on E. Washington St.

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 [...]

Yellow, Green, And A Bit Of Purple

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

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 [...]

Vying For Attention

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

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.

Silence

Friday, February 26th, 2010

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.

An Early Spring

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

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.

Pink Ladies

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

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.

Coast Road Trip, Part 6

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

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 [...]

A Random Bit Of Branches

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Yep. Branches. Greenish branches because of moss. Yep. So, uh… yep. That’s about it, really. Oh, well, I took this photo at Pioneer Park. Other than that… nothing, really. Yep.

Moss, Magnified

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

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 [...]

It Ain’t Easy Being Green

Monday, February 8th, 2010

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.

Among Friends

Friday, February 5th, 2010

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.

Sometimes It Just Is

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

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.
