Bilyeu Creek

Guest photographer Tom Miller rocks. He’s provided us with yet another beautiful image (and some facts to go with it), this time of Bilyeu Creek. His description:
Bilyeu Creek runs thru the valley in Jordan. If you’re standing on the Hannah Bridge and looking downstream, that’s where Bilyeu Creek dumps into Thomas Creek. One of the first sawmills built in this area, was powered by water from Bilyeu Creek.
Thanks, Tom!
Mount Pleasant

Guest photographer Tom Miller takes us back to last summer for this shot taken in the nearby Scio area. His description:
I took this foto last summer, this is just up the road from the historic Mt. Pleasant Church.
The summer before the fields were all planted with rye grass and there was close to a dozen northern harriers hunting them.
But they all left once the wheat went in.
Thanks, Tom!
Winter Wonderland
03 months ago
The Stayton area continues to be a icy white realm. Today’s eerie but gorgeous image comes from guest photographer Jim Mullholand, and showcases the weather quite well. His description:
Temperatures in the 20′s combined with persistent fog for several days has left a thick layer of frosty ice on all the trees creating a winter wonderland. This was taken on the SW side of Franklin Butte just south of Scio.
Be sure to visit Jim’s web site for more of his beautiful photography. Thanks, Jim!
New Fire Station in Scio
0
Guest photographer Denny Barnes noticed something new and shiny in nearby Scio:
Driving through Scio a couple of days ago I see they are putting the final touches on their new fire station. Looks pretty spiffy and big enough to keep them in business for some time. Couldn’t get a straight on shot because of the setting sun, too bright. One of the few times the clouds opened to let the sun through.
Be sure to click on the little thumbnail to see another view of the station. Thanks, Denny!
Smoky Sunrise

Guest photographer Jim Mullholand captured today’s stunning sunrise photo. His description:
The sun rises thru a layer of smoke from the wildfires near Sisters. Taken near Scio on Hwy 226 on Monday Sept 17th
The cause of the smoke is tragic, but at least a bit of beauty could be found. Thank you, Jim.
