Early Morning
I took this very early one morning (before 6am) just as it was starting to get light prior to the sun making its first appearance for the day. It looks out over a farm on E. Santiam St.I am anything b...
Torn
This bit of sunset two nights ago was situated between clouds and the ground, looking like it was being torn from the sky. This was taken at the corner of 3rd Ave. and Fern Ridge Rd....
A Welcome Change
I took the above two nights ago. We've had rather warm summer weather recently, so the clouds (and accompanying breeze) were a welcome change.I would also like to point out the picture is flipped hori...
After The Sun Goes Down
I took the above just after I took yesterday's photo, about an hour after sunset. Both photos used 30 second exposures to get the various colors still visible in the sky, since full dark hadn't yet se...
For I Must Be Traveling On
I still haven't had much of an opportunity to go out and take photos, so here we are with another sunset. I'm hoping to get out today to take photos of something or other. I have no idea what that som...
A Bit Of Sunset
The weather the last couple of days has been kind of icky, so here's a wee bit of a sunset I took a few days ago from the corner of 3rd and Fern Ridge Rd....
Enter Night
I want to apologize for posting two sunset photos within a week of each other (see also: Golden). The weather has finally warmed up enough for me to go out during the evenings on my scooter sometimes,...
Mt. Jefferson
Guest photographer Hugo sent in this absolutely gorgeous photo of Mt. Jefferson, as seen from fairly nearby Detroit. Fairly nearby, in this case, is about 50 miles, but it's a popular recreation spot ...
Heading Home
Those of you viewing the photo above with binoculars would be able to see an itty bitty airplane. It's not where the contrail is... a bit below it, actually. Depending on how good your eyes are, you m...
Santiam Golf Course
Guest photographer Theresa Smith of D'Tail Pet Grooming provided us with this lovely image taken at the Santiam Golf Course on Golf Club Rd. (visit the golf course's web site).Thanks to Theresa for sh...
Silver Falls In Green
Guest photographer Ronda Faught sent these lovely images taken at Silver Falls State Park, which is about 17 miles from Stayton. The top photo is of North Falls, while the photo at right is of water c...
State Capitol With Trees In Bloom
Guest photographer Moe sent me this beautiful photo he took a few years ago of the Oregon State Capitol Building with the trees in full bloom. I thought it a lovely image to include in our little Sale...
Snow Fields
I took the above shot near where Fern Ridge Rd. meets Highway 22. It's scenes like this that make me forget the mess snow and ice makes for driving and the like, because nature is just so darned prett...
In The Distance
Earlier this month I posted a photo of some hills outside of Stayton which can be seen from town. I wasn't very happy with the photo, as it was somewhat blurry and the color was all wrong. I had cropp...
Misty River
According to the Travel Oregon web site, the Roaring River near Scio is the only river to flow into a creek instead of the other way around. The photo above is just after the river and the creek, Crab...
Snow In The Hills
This view is looking out past Stayton to some hills. They are, in fact, the same hills I posted back in November (taken from almost the same spot), only with snow on them this time.I wish I could have...
Snow at Detroit Lake
We have another guest photographer today! Theresa Smith sent some beautiful photos she took at Detroit Lake, which is a little over 30 miles up Santiam Canyon from Stayton. It's a very popular recreat...
Down By The Water's Edge
This is the small canal which runs alongside E Water St. It's such a little area (less than a city block long), but I find myself going back there from time to time to take pictures (see here, here, a...
