The photo above is of my grandparents, Floyd and Florence Traylor. It was taken by their friend Howard, on a hiking trail at Mt. Hood. Along with his wife Pauline, the four of them were out looking for huckleberrys that day. If you have a minute, please enlarge the photo a couple of times by clicking on it, and see if you can find any "hidden" peeps in the snow and rock pile behind them.
Grandma and Grandpa T. enjoyed going on weekend drives in the forests of Oregon. Grandpa was a logger, and he would scout out good spots during the week and then take Grandma to see them. Today is my Grandma's birthday. If she were still here, she would be 99 years old! Happy Birthday, Grandma, I miss you a lot. I miss Grandpa too, but he died when I was young, so I mostly miss not getting to have him around longer. He was a really good guy.

I've shown you guys this picture before, but I labeled it this time. I have seen it around on the internet, but it is of my great-uncle Hobart Hedrick, Grandma T.'s half-brother. He is standing by his name, at the top of the tree. Now, that is one huge tree!
This week's Sepia Saturday theme is trees. I wanted to share a bit of the OSU Extension Service bulletin from 1957 (originally printed in 1949). As always, you can enlarge these to read them better.

There are many different native trees in Oregon, but I've picked out a few of my favorites here:
