My Town Friday Shoot-out: Faces

The idea of the My Town Shoot-Out is to post photos of your local community every Friday. This week's assignment was chosen by Sarah, from Idaho.

All photos taken in Corvallis, Oregon.

This week: short but sweet.

Oregon State University mascot, Benny Beaver.


This is our dog Eddy, who has just happily stuck his nose in a bush full of weed seeds. If we clipped him just right, and pushed out the front teeth just a little, I think he might resemble Benny.


John with Reuben, our other dog.


Everybody is an artist in this town, including the muffler guy, Jerry, who constructed several sculptures and livened up his parking lot with them. Cheerful mufflers!

  11. Alas, no. The Benny statue is carved out of wood, not chocolate!
