Guest photographer Hugo sent in this lovely image of a… well, he’s not sure. His description:
I took this at my favorite park as the sun was setting. I’ve never been able to figure whether she’s a duck…or a goose. She has the characteristics of both. As best as I can figure, she’s a “Guck”, or [...]
Yesterday, I received an email from frequent guest photographer Hugo (the last two days’ photos are from him) saying “if’n y’all get desperate for another daily photo” I could post this one. Like I would pass this up. It’s awesome.
Hugo took this at Wallace Marine Park in nearby West Salem.
Thanks once again, Hugo.

Today is part two of guest photographer Hugo’s sunset/sunrise photos (see yesterday’s sunset) from Wirth Lake in nearby Salem. He says:
The “star” in the sunrise photo is actually the planet Venus, which is currently making its presence known in the early morning. I use Stellarium to locate the stars and planets. It’s a free program [...]
Guest photographer Hugo sent in today’s photo of a sunset from a few nights ago, taken at Walter Wirth Lake in nearby Salem. It’s simply gorgeous. Tomorrow I’ll post another photo Hugo took at the lake, this time of the sunrise and a “star.”

As promised yesterday, here are some photos from the Oregon State Fair, taken on Sunday. These were rushed shots, as I didn’t have much time. Check out my Flickr photoset to see more photos.

Last night I went to the Oregon State Fair in Salem, and attended the Peter Cetera (with the Oregon Symphony) concert. I’ve created a Flickr photoset from the concert with a bunch of photos, if you’re interested.
I would like to thank the powers that be for the non-rain during [...]
Guest photographer Hugo sent along this very lovely photo. His description:
I took this photo at my favorite spot in Salem…Walter L. Wirth Lake. The geese had been fighting for mating rights (typical male behavior) and this feather fell exactly as you see it. The plantain and the two flower petals just called to me to [...]
Guest photographer Hugo sent today’s absolutely beautiful photo. Here’s his description:
This was taken in the early morning hours at Walter L. Wirth Lake in Cascades Gateway Park in Salem. I really liked how the trees faded into the fog, in the background. I spend so much time at the lake that the ducks and geese [...]
Guest photographer Hugo has sent this very cool photo he took at Wirth Lake in nearby Salem. It is a 30 second exposure, where he “painted” the tree with a green hand-held laser. The effect is awesome, or as Hugo said, it’s eerie.
Thanks, Hugo!

Over the last two days I’ve posted photos from the Oregon State Fair in nearby Salem, which wrapped up on Monday. I thought I’d bring things to a close today with photos of some of the animals and flowers found at the Fair.
The photo above [...]

Yesterday I posted a couple of photos from the Oregon State Fair in nearby Salem, which ended yesterday. I took a lot of photos while I was at the Fair, so I figured I’d post a few more over today and tomorrow.
It’s my blog, I [...]

I’ll be the first to admit I kind of fudged on today’s theme, which is “sister city.” Stayton doesn’t have a true sister city, as far as I know, so I went about 15 miles down the road to Salem, which is Oregon’s state capitol. [...]
For today’s theme day I kind of went out of bounds — city bounds, that is — to get the photo. It was taken in nearby Salem, and I thought it not only appropriate for the theme day, but it’s also a nice way to wrap up my little tour of Salem (see my previous [...]
Today’s the next to last day of our little tour of nearby Salem. This photo is something of a precursor to tomorrow’s city daily photo theme day. It’s a back door of the building where I took the theme picture. If you could look directly above this door, you’d see my theme day photo.
I’m not [...]
Guest photographer Moe sent me this beautiful photo he took a few years ago of the Oregon State Capitol Building with the trees in full bloom. I thought it a lovely image to include in our little Salem tour. It’s a nice reminder that spring blooms are just around the corner.
Thanks, Moe, for showing us [...]
