The weather here has been pretty mild this month. I took the above photo off of Fern Ridge Rd., looking east at a shed in a fairly large field. It doesn’t look like the middle of winter to me… not that I’m complaining. Though with this weather, our snow pack on the mountains hasn’t been [...]
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 weather ’round these parts went kind of wacky. The Portland area saw a fair bit of snow, but at my house here in Stayton we saw a couple minutes of light flakes and then we were through. That’s boring, though, so today I’m posting a photo my brother took with his cell/mobile phone in [...]
It’s raining here in Oregon this weekend. We haven’t had much rain lately, so I’m glad we’re finally getting some. Except I have to be outdoors this evening, but that’s life, especially around here.
The photo above is a macro of raindrops on a spider web in a hanging plant on my patio. It reminds me [...]
Guest photographer Debbie D. Dodd send it today’s photo of a foggy sunrise taken on her farm four miles south of Stayton. Very pretty. Thanks, Debbie!

It’s still raining here (a lot), so I went to the exotic location of my backyard to take today’s photo. This tree (we call them filbert trees here, but you might know it better as a hazel or hazelnut tree, if I understand things correctly) leaf looked kinda pretty, with raindrops dangling off its tips. [...]
Guest photographer Gary Jones sent this very pretty photo of a rainbow he took from Highway 22 looking towards Sublimity. The sky is beautiful, with the clouds adding drama to the rainbow. Thanks, Gary!
By the way, Dave over at StaytonEvents.com has two slideshows up from the wind storm we had on the 1st, including the [...]
Guest photographer Moe has sent along some photos of downed trees at Pioneer Park. It looks like some big ones went down. I didn’t do it. The wind storm which followed the snow/ice we had a handful of days ago obviously took its toll. It looks a lot like my backyard, actually (see yesterday’s post).
Below [...]
We had a bit of wind early Friday morning… and by “bit” I mean “a lot.” There are tree branches all over the place in my neighborhood, and in some cases, there are trees toppled over, like the one above. This is my neighbor’s house, where fortunately no one was injured. Her family and a [...]
The snow is all but gone now (it’s been replaced by a lot of rain), but I still can’t get out and take photos. So here’s another snow shot. Yay.
If anyone out there has Stayton area photos you would like to share, please send them along (site [at] specialweb.com or celine.chamberlin [at] gmail.com). I’d love [...]
The snow is mostly melted at my house, but that doesn’t mean I can’t post at least one more snow photo. I still haven’t been able to go out and take pictures (it’s been two weeks since I’ve gone anywhere outside of my neighborhood to shoot)… I hope I can rectify that this weekend or [...]
I discovered a late last night my blog hadn’t updated since the 23rd, so my Christmas Eve and Christmas day posts didn’t get posted like they should have been. Which is a bit of a bummer. I apologize… Blogger’s update thing must have been wacky. They’re up now.
In other news, we had a wee bit [...]
Merry Christmas Eve to all who celebrate the day, and to everyone in general — I hope you have a happy day.
I don’t normally post photos of my pets on this blog — I kind of have a rule against it, actually — but desperate times call for desperate measures. I still can’t go anywhere, [...]
So. It snowed again. And this wasn’t the pretty snow of the other day. This snow was all over the place, and it was icy, and it was incredibly annoying.
I went out for only a few minutes to take photos yesterday. I’m still stuck at home, since my scooter can’t go in snow. I really [...]
Everything just kind of froze yesterday. All the trees and plants had thick layers of ice covering them, and freezing rain kept on falling from the sky.
I had planned on taking a trip to the grocery store yesterday, but didn’t feel like slip sliding all over the roads. Oh, and I should mention the wind [...]
