Elvis on the Hood

July 13, 2018

I've been waiting to catch the owner of this Ford pickup so I could ask permission to photograph the most awesome vehicle art in McCleary, and today was that lucky day. The owner of this truck created the image himself. I am impressed.

We had a nice talk about The King. I was able to share some of my stories from a recent visit to Graceland.

Anyway, I salute the owner of this pickup for being original and expressive. Way to go!

Blue Christmas

Christmas morning, 2017. Actually this is a very rare White Christmas in McCleary, but the old flip-phone camera captured it as blue, making me imagine this lonely little snow-covered bear is singing, "I'll have a Blue Christmas without you." Cue in Elvis!

As you can see, Sam's Food Mart is one of the few places still open this morning. It might be my imagination, but it seemed there was more snow in general south of Pine Street where the elevation is a little higher.
