Summer Visit
02 months ago
We have a new guest photographer today! Katie Staley brings us this beautiful look back at last summer, which is especially nice right since the weather has been so wet around here. Her description:
This was taken in the summer while visiting Stayton Pioneer Cemetery (also known as Campbell-Grier Cemetery). My grandparents and other family are buried there. I love the calm rolling hills.
Thanks so much, Katie! And what a gorgeous motorcycle.

I took this photo during sunset at Campbell-Grier Cemetery, which is just outside of Stayton. There were about a gazillion little bugs flying about, which I think added a nifty effect to the image.
Just The Two Of Us

I’ve been ill this week, so going out and taking pictures hasn’t been working out. I took this in mid-July at Campbell-Grier Cemetery just outside of town.
Won’t You Come And Wash Away The Rain

I took this the other night at Campbell-Grier Cemetery, just outside of Stayton. The silhouette is part of a metal decoration of a girl holding up a flower. That flower looks like a sun in silhouette, which made me think of the song “Black Hole Sun” by Soundgarden, which led to using part of the lyrics for the title of this post. Which is really more information than you needed, but what are ya gonna do.
In other news, I have a couple more guest photographers’ photos to post, once I get organized to do that. So if you’re waiting for me to do it, I apologize. You wouldn’t believe the week I had yesterday.
Good Morning To The Memories

I couldn’t sleep a few days ago, so I went over to the Campbell-Grier Cemetery just before sunrise to see what I could see. I don’t normally experience sunrises… mornings aren’t really part of my existence. I much prefer to be awake at night. I think I’m part vampire (the non-sparkly kind), or maybe owl (like Hedwig). I may post another photo tomorrow of the sunrise. Or I may not. I really should plan ahead. But I won’t.

I posted some photos from the Campbell-Grier Cemetery late last month, but since I wasn’t able to spend much time there during my visit, I decided to head over there again. It’s such a beautiful and peaceful little place.
I’ve added sixteen new photos to my Flickr photoset (the new photos actually start on page 2 of the set)

I took a trip yesterday to the Campbell-Grier Cemetery, which sits just outside of Stayton along Boedigheimer Rd. It’s a lovely little place. If I’d realized it was so close, I would have gone a long time ago.
The cemetery is the burial place of Drury Smith Stayton (see photo at right), the founder and namesake of Stayton. I was only able to spend a few minutes taking photos (it was windy and cold), so I hope to go back soon during better weather.
I had a lot of trouble finding information about the cemetery online. It is also evidently known as Stayton Pioneer Cemetery. I think. USGenWeb has a burial listing up, and it mentions the alternate name, but that’s the pretty much all I could find. If anyone out there knows more, I’d be most grateful if you could leave a comment with the details. I hadn’t even realized it was where Drury Smith Stayton was buried… I came across it by accident.
Be sure to check out my Flickr photoset of the cemetery. It has several more photos from the cemetery.
