Every day I have to go to the Post Office to pick up our mail--although I have to admit there are days I don't care enough to make the trip. It's four miles--an eight-mile round trip, so it's close enough to ride a bike, but not really to walk. Yesterday I went down and parked and behind me pulls in this:
It was Mark Marcheasseault heading up the road in his tractor with a round hay bale--must have been off to feed cows somewhere. He's a sweetie and stopped to ask me if I got my picture when he saw me standing there with my camera.
The mail lady had just arrived, and I knew it would be a little while before the mail was up, so I walked around with my camera and got some updated images--not that anything around here changes all that often. . . . (LOL) This is the very famous Polar Bar. I'm not kidding about the famous part. Obviously, it's closed.
This is the old outhouse that sits behind the old used-to-be general store and post office. I have a thing about outhouses--I keep trying to find one that somebody will give to me for a garden shed in the "park" beside our house. In 14 years I've not yet been successful. This one I like--it's quite large.
This is the interior. It used to be a two-holer and it was obviously not your basic outhouse, as I can see that at one time it was actually insulated for those cold winter "sittings."
This is the back side of the used-to-be general store and post office. The building was originally one of the buildings at the site of the Polaris Mine which was a few miles east up the valley. It's been around for awhile!
After I got my mail and headed home I noticed the camus in bloom all along the road. Seeing as how I had my camera I decided to stop and try to get some good images. They're not great, but representative!
It is totally awesome when the camus is in full bloom in this valley. I can look off across the pastures and it looks like the pasture is actually a lake--a mirage. It's so beautiful. It doesn't last long.
One of the things I like best here is the beautiful blue, crystal clear skies with delightful cloud formations floating by. It makes for wonderful photography!!!
