I don’t know what they were doing back there, but they looked kinda shifty to me. Those mallards are up to no good, I tell you. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WillametteValleyDailyPhoto/~3/XnhlZ6tV9UA/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WillametteValleyDailyPhoto/~3/XnhlZ6tV9UA/ Thu, 9 Sep 2010 09:00:00 +0000 The following news was sent out today from the Stayton Fire District and the City of Stayton: It is with deep sadness the Stayton Fire District informs the friends and State of Oregon Fire Service of the passing of retired Chief Ron Tegen at his home on September 5th. Chief Tegen provided 42 years of More > http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WillametteValleyDailyPhoto/~3/wTbF69w_W5I/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WillametteValleyDailyPhoto/~3/wTbF69w_W5I/ Wed, 8 Sep 2010 09:00:00 +0000 (See my Flickr photoset from the Fair!) Today is my final installment of my trip to the Oregon State Fair in nearby Salem on Sunday. While I was wandering around the garden/wine tasting area of the fairgrounds, I happened upon singer Tracy Reynolds performing, which was awesome. I saw her last year at Pioneer Park More > http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WillametteValleyDailyPhoto/~3/VjzSB0XDRlE/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WillametteValleyDailyPhoto/~3/VjzSB0XDRlE/ Tue, 7 Sep 2010 09:00:00 +0000 (See my Flickr photoset from the Fair!) Continuing to milk all I can out of my trip to the Oregon State Fair on Sunday (see also: yesterday’s post), here’s another photo, this time of some folks on the chair swings ride. I’ve never personally been on that ride because I get ridiculously dizzy turning in More > http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WillametteValleyDailyPhoto/~3/cZBsPFO6lOE/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WillametteValleyDailyPhoto/~3/cZBsPFO6lOE/ Mon, 6 Sep 2010 09:00:00 +0000 (See my Flickr photoset from the Fair!) Yesterday, I attended the 2010 Oregon State Fair. I am now tired. So I’m sharing some of the photos I took, and will post more tomorrow, and possibly the day after that. I’ve put some of them in a Flickr photoset. Stay tuned for more as I get More > http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WillametteValleyDailyPhoto/~3/ZhEC4UxDu28/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WillametteValleyDailyPhoto/~3/ZhEC4UxDu28/ Sun, 5 Sep 2010 09:00:00 +0000 I ventured out yesterday to where they’re building the new foot bridge over the power canal where the old woolen mill used to be. They haven’t added anything new since guest photographer John Brandt was there… the only change I could see was they removed the wood molds around the concrete. Instead, I ventured a More > http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WillametteValleyDailyPhoto/~3/fwLqK8oxOlE/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WillametteValleyDailyPhoto/~3/fwLqK8oxOlE/ Sat, 4 Sep 2010 09:00:00 +0000 I took this photo of a sign in the window of the Key Bank on 1st Ave. two or three weeks ago, then promptly forgot about. But then I remembered, so here it is. Now, this sign can be read two ways. One, they’re offering absolutely nothing with a new account (unless it’s invisible). That’s More > http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WillametteValleyDailyPhoto/~3/fOCOZUx3oXM/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WillametteValleyDailyPhoto/~3/fOCOZUx3oXM/ Fri, 3 Sep 2010 09:00:00 +0000 Today is the third photo of controlled farm field burning by guest photographer Terri Jo Adams (see also day one and day two). Her description: Hope you can stand one more picture of the field burn…I just like this one – synchronized field fires… Yep, very cool. It really makes for a pretty picture.

Her description: This was out on Doerfler Rd Sunday the 29th of August. There were so many field fires that day, all of a sudden, that it More > http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WillametteValleyDailyPhoto/~3/Ud5eMExFh00/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WillametteValleyDailyPhoto/~3/Ud5eMExFh00/ Wed, 1 Sep 2010 09:00:00 +0000 How about a random shot of some random Queen Anne’s Lace growing wild in a random field somewhere here in town? I took it last week, and I can’t remember where I took it. Not that it matters, since one can find this stuff growing all over the place around here. I love it… very More > http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WillametteValleyDailyPhoto/~3/mIjpOpix6E8/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WillametteValleyDailyPhoto/~3/mIjpOpix6E8/ Tue, 31 Aug 2010 09:00:00 +0000 Guest photographer Terri Jo Adams sent in today’s photo of some controlled farm field burning outside of town. She forgot to include a description to go with the photo, so I’m going to make one up. If you’ll please, turn your eyes to the distance fields in the photograph situated atop this entry.

It’s due to be completed here very soon. The above photo shows cement poured into the moldings which will form the base of one side of the bridge.

The title of this post comes from a movie I’ve never seen. I found a list of quotes from it by accident, but it seemed appropriate.

This one is of a hill on Fern Ridge Rd., just after it crosses Highway 22 and clears city limits. This is very exciting stuff, isn’t it? I mean… a road. With stripes and everything. Wow. In other news, is anyone going More > http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WillametteValleyDailyPhoto/~3/KCC7hNT_YbU/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WillametteValleyDailyPhoto/~3/KCC7hNT_YbU/ Fri, 27 Aug 2010 09:00:00 +0000 Guest photographer Terri Jo Adams sent in today’s photo. Her description: This is from a series of photos I have compiled and called “I Am Terri’s Windshield” – that’s exactly what the photos are, and yes, I do pull the car over when I get these pictures.

It’s been smokey in Stayton — I’m guessing due controlled field burns in area farm fields, so he found another way to get a cool photo two nights ago. His description: Not much photographing with this smoke in the air, eh? Fortunately, last night the air was More >
