Horses in a field under white clouds near Stayton Oregon

This photo by guest photographer Tom Miller looks like a painting. It’s just gorgeous. So are those horses. Thanks, Tom!

Distant hills and trees outside Stayton Oregon

I took this photo a few weeks ago, then completely forgot to upload it here. This was taken from the east end of E. Pine St., looking south between a couple of houses and out unto the great beyond.

I wonder if I make residents nervous when I do things like that. Fear not, Stayton area people. I promise I’m not taking pictures through your windows into your houses. That would be weird.

Stayton city lights after dark in Stayton Oregon

Guest photographer Denny Barnes captured this view of Stayton at night. It’s a view those of us in town don’t get to see, and it’s pretty danged awesome. His description:

This is a shot of Stayton after dark on the same night I shot the comet. Lots of pretty lights with the reflection of them in the clouds. I see this sight every time I go to town after dark and never tire of it.

I wouldn’t get tired of it, either. Thanks, Denny!

Stormy skies over Regis Catholic High School in Stayton Oregon

I took this photo just before all hail broke loose on Wednesday afternoon. Then it poured. It was fun.

The buildings are Regis High School (and some houses on the left-hand side) on Regis St.

Pretty clouds in the sky in Stayton Oregon

I like clouds. They’re pretty.

I took this shot by pointing my camera up at the sky and pressing the shutter. It was extremely difficult.

The cloudy sky behind the American flag at Lone Oak Cemetery on 3rd Ave. made for a cool scene a couple of days ago.

Clouds at sunset in Stayton Oregon

This was taken just after the sun had set. I wish I could have been there a few minutes earlier, but I was at at the Star Cinema seeing “The Amazing Spider-Man” (which was great… don’t forget to stay for the extra seen during the credits).

A note to those who go to movie theaters: don’t be an idiot. The employees at the Star had to delay opening the doors for the evening showing because those who were there before us made a big mess. Pick up after yourselves — no matter where you are — and throw your garbage in a garbage can. It’s not complicated. And to those who left the mess yesterday: grow up. I had to pick up two empty ampm drink cups along 3rd St. last night, too, when I stopped to take today’s photo.

Littering sucks. If you do it, stop it.

This has been an unsolicited mini-rant. We now return you to whatever it is you were doing before.

I took this sunset photo a couple of nights ago, before Mother Nature decided rain was a good idea.

Clouds, sun rays, and contrails in Stayton Oregon

The sky was being rather dramatic a few days ago, with the big clouds, the contrails, and the sun peeking through. It’s like a soap opera in the sky, only it can’t get cancelled and replaced by a so-called reality show. This is reality, and it’s awesome.
