The Iconic 'Dinosaur Bones' of Corvallis


 




Corvallis's Avery Parks 'Dinosaur Bones'. If you're a Corvallis local, you know this is the best park in the whole city, equipped with the 'bones' to play on, an old Georgia Pacific train, two different parks, and several swimming holes packed with people in the summer. If you've grown up here, you've probably played on these 'Dino Bones' that were created in the late 1970 as an art piece by OSU students. 
The day's have grown long and lonely for these old and stained 'bones', as the pandemic leaves it empty of children's heavy footstep's and laughter, on this sunny winter day. November 11th, 


 




Jade Rossi posses in her work environment. When asked where she spends the most time, she brings me to her a patient room, or "her office", where she spends much time talking with patients as they sit on the 'bed'. Jade is a Nursing student who is working through her clinical's with Nurse Practitioner Morgan Bahm, at Good Samaritan Internal Medicine. The first Good Samaritan was built in 1875 in Portland, and Corvallis location was built in 1922. When commenting on her shoes, Rossi says "crocks are the best when you're on your feet all day". Rossi says "she loves her job, especially because even among the pandemic she gets to work with and help people". Corvallis, Wednesday, November 190th. 



Tony and Lisa Anarre take a walk in Avery Park on this cold day, with their hot drinks and vibrant and color attire.  They're specifically checking out the 'dinosaur bones' that remind them of "back in they day" says Tony. "We have so many memories associated with these. We're glad you're taking our picture because when you've been together as long as we have, you don't have many." says Lisa. Corvallis, November 11th.
