Dusty Moments -- America's Finest Blog

Dusty Moments, America's Finest Blog, is dedicated to photography and the American way of life. With each old snap shot or Kodachrome slide, a bit of the psyche of the person behind the camera is revealed, while simultaneously creating mysteries as to the true nature of the subject's story. The words within this blog are my own. Many of the photographs are mine too, but included also are the dusty moments from my parents and grandparents, as well as, junk store finds.

Free Range Marshmallows

What do free range marshmallows and a meaningful health care reform have in common? They are about as real as the Easter Bunny. However to a preschool kid... I bet I could convince them that free range marshmallows are real. In fact I took my kid out into the Snoqualmie Valley this weekend, and I pointed to the plastic wrapped hay bales and said, "Look Quin, marshmallow!' He would then response, "Yeah marshmallows..."

So tonight photographic proof that free range marshmallows are real, and thus removing their common ties with the Easter Bunny and meaningful health care reform.

A couple thoughts on the picture, first it was taken in June 1994, somewhere near Cosmopolis or Montesano, or one of those towns on the way to Aberdeen, and second I must have really wanted the shot, because I remember pulling off of US-12 to take the photo and realizing that the shoulder really wasn't wide enough to pull completely off the road. So it was two real quick shots and back on the road.
