Umatilla Cowboy

market sign in Umatilla 0regon

“To read the papers and to listen to the news... one would think the country is in terrible trouble. You do not get that impression when you travel the back roads and the small towns do care about their country and wish it well.” - Charles Kuralt


traveling new yet familiar trails
breathing in the wide vast sky
relaxing close to God

Seeing this cowboy sign for a market in Umatilla, Oregon made me feel a little nostalgic. I started thinking of "signs" like the huge donut on top of Winchell's
donuts . . .
