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 [...]
Nothing exciting today, just a photo of the basketball court area at Pioneer Park. I haven’t been able to go out and take new photos for the last handful of days due to rainy weather, so I’m scraping the bottom of the barrel at the moment. I took this earlier this week when I was [...]
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.
Guest photographer John Brandt sent in today’s photo of some volunteers building horseshoe pits at Neitling Park, which resides next to Pioneer Park. I had no idea this was taking place, so it’s extra cool of John to send the photos in.
This photo shows Stayton Park Board Chair Vietske building the horeshoe pits. For two [...]
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.
Visitor and great idea person Jason Jones suggested I do a “then and now” comparison of the Stayton-Jordan Bridge. He pointed me to some photos in the Salem Library online archive of the bridge, taken around 1960. And so I shall.
I don’t want to post the Library’s photos here because it would violate their guidelines, [...]
Guest photographer John Brandt took this beautiful photo of Wilderness Park, as seen from across the creek (otherwise known as Salem Ditch) at Pioneer Park. It looks mystical. Thanks, John.

The other day, after I lamented not being able to post Christmas-related photos until next December, Hugo commented the Jordan Bridge, a covered bridge at Pioneer Park, is always waiting for me. That inspired me to go take a picture of my favorite Stayton landmark and most frequent photo subject.
Thanks for the awesome suggestion, Hugo. [...]
Further proof that it’s been darned cold outside, Jon Goodman sent in another nifty photo of some ice on water behind Pioneer Park — be sure to see yesterday’s photo, too. Brrrr.
Thanks to Jon, as always.

Guest photographer Jon Goodman sent in today’s photo of a lot of ice on the water behind Pioneer Park. Because it has been cold. Darned cold. His description:
Pretty thick ice behind Pioneer park, I actually walked a few feet out before cracking noises encouraged my retreat.

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.

Guest photographer John Brandt sent in today’s photo from Wilderness Park. His description:
This picture was taken this week along the Stayton Ditch in Wilderness Park. Across the ditch is Stayton’s new park along the Santiam. “You can’t get there from here” because the City still hasn’t built the bridge that we were all [...]
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 [...]
Must… appease… autumn gods…
So, here’s another photo of autumn leaves. Betcha you’re totally surprised by that. I know I am. I mean, just because I’ve posted autumn leaves photos for the last handful of days is really no indication of future performance. Yep,
In other (more truthful) news, I realized I had no idea how to [...]
This tree stands all by itself at Neitling Park, and I like it. I posted a photo of it a couple of years ago, but this new version looks decidedly less cartoonish. Sometimes I look back at photos I’ve posted previously and wonder what I was thinking regarding post processing. Then I realize I probably [...]
