Did you put the red nose on that deer? Were you defacing property Colleen?
Cute post!

I’ve been riding by the Rudolph sign for years. There are actually two along 221. This is the first time I stopped to get a photo. Isn’t it cute? I love that someone had a sense of humor.

Thanks for your visit.
Beautiful photographs. I loved the 3rd one!

I love that bush. And, of course, the Rudolph sign. But he really looks like he’s blowing a bubble!
Michele sent me today!

Absurd’s a good thing to stop and admire. 🙂
3 traffic lights should do the trick one would think.
Got the answer on the art: entitled, VIP, it’s interactive art by Michael Bussiere, installed in 1996.

You live in the most interesting place on earth, I swear. Or perhaps it is that way because you are so interesting?

All very good reasons to stop.

I love the reindeer best! The bush reminds me of a character on Sesame Street “Roosevelt Franklin”!

LOL, LOL…It is absurd, but adorable, too! Someone has a great sense of humor…!

The photos are great especially the bush! But, what’s fantastic about this post is hearing you read the essay you wrote about Josh. I love how you tied together his interests and history into his present choice for an occupation. Simply beautiful writing!

Thank you! I wrote it as a blog entry first and posted it a few weeks ago. Reading on the radio gives a whole other dimension to the words.
