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, [...]
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 [...]
Guest photographer Aspen Thomas sent in this lovely photo from Summer Lake, which isn’t technically in Stayton, but it is in Oregon, so I say it’s close enough. It’s good to go outside of Stayton now and again, since this town is small.
Summer Lake, for those who don’t know, is southeast of Stayton. In fact, [...]
I know this is the third sunset photo I’ve posted in less than a week, but sky was absolutely gorgeous last night, and I couldn’t pass it up. For whatever reason, there was a lot of haze in the air, and it made everything very orange, and the sun was just popping. I may post [...]
I posted a photo yesterday of the sunset a couple of nights ago, and decided to do it again today. This one was taken from the cemetery on 3rd Ave.
The sky was pretty yesterday evening as the sun went down, so I took some photos. I may post another sunset photo tomorrow, depending on my mood. This photo was taken just off of 6th Ave.
I last posted a photo of this particular view back in February, when the trees and overall tones were quite a bit different. It’s part of the Salem Ditch, which is a man made waterway built back in the 1800’s. This spot is on the corner of Washington St. and Larch Ave.
The sky was kinda pretty last night, so I kinda took a picture. And I kinda posted here. Kinda.
In other news, if anyone out there is going to the Sublimity Harvest Festival and would like to take a picture or two to post on this here blog thingy, that would be beyond awesome. I can’t [...]
It’s time once again to visit my favorite power canal off of 4th Ave. It’s not my fault it’s such a pretty scene. I don’t have that kind of skill.
New guest photographer Michelle “Shel” Capers sent in today’s beautiful photo of South Falls at Silver Falls State Park, which she took last Saturday.
Thanks, Michelle! I love all the green and water. Very cool.

I posted a sunset photo a couple of days ago, and figured I’d post one more I took that night. The sky was just too pretty to ignore.
I actually got outside for a few minutes yesterday evening, so I went to a hill on Boedigheimer Rd SE, just outside of city limits (across Highway 22) to take a few sunset photos. The sky was clouding up, so it made the sky extra pretty. I may post another shot of the sunset later [...]
I took this photo near where Fern Ridge Rd. meets Highway 22. At the top of the field, in the middle of the horizon line, is the City of Stayton Public Works Reservoir & Pump Station, which I have posted at least one photo of in the past.
Today’s photo was taken on the corner of W. Washington St. and Larch Ave., looking south. I think it’s part of a power canal which runs through town. If anyone has better info on it, I’d be most appreciative.
I used to live down the street (on Larch Ave.) from this part of the canal (or [...]
My favorite Stayton trees, some oak trees off of 10th Ave., were looking quite pretty last night as the sun was setting. I love those trees.
