Post office art

Sometimes I'm about as observant as a horse with blinders on. I tend see what's directly in front of me, and often miss what else is going on. It's one of the reasons I took up photography -- so I would "force" myself to see more of life.

So it was the other day that I went to the post office in Stayton and saw the artwork above, which is painted on the front window of the building. I have no idea how long it's been there. I can't remember seeing it before, but that means nothing. It could be new, or it could have been there for years. If I hadn't parked right next to it, I doubt I would have noticed it this time. I'm glad I did, because it's kinda nifty.

This is the same post office with the Oregon, in a nutshell mural I posted earlier this month. It's funny I noticed one mural but not the other.

In other news, a big thank you goes to Marie McC at Best of Daily Photo for including two of the photos posted here in the last week. One is from a guest photographer, Mark in Hillsboro, for his country cemetery photo. The other is my bridge reflection photo. There are some great photos highlighted this week (and every other week), so it's an honor to be included.
