An abandoned ATSF (some listing say BNSF) station at Coleman Texas. After decommissioning, it was used as the local city police station, then abandoned again. Status of use unknown.

In all due respect, If you’re still standing, the bridge will stand very much longer than we will my friend.

Good morning
You had a video on the construction of the Bridge of the Gods and a neat picture to go with it, and you chose Daffy Duck? 
Just Love that Mike! Those were the real cartoons worth watching back then!
Wonder if that Palm Warbler was there in Iowa to nibble on that big yellow bud Grandpas Trains?..Post Hog!
Enjoy your Saturday Kids

Can you imagine the wind-load on that roof structure?
My wife just saw an indigo bunting at our feeder! Lucky catch. I saw one once here while walking up to the mail box. Years ago I spotted a read headed woodpecker at the feeder. Glad the camera was handy!
Back in 2009 when I could still afford shelled peanuts for the little critters!

Who’s up next? Brunhilde? Could I get a mint julep?
I was hoping Mr. Baffert could get his seventh win, but it was not to be. Still, a thrilling race, with a come-from-behind winner, and a first Derby win for a woman trainer.

Enjoyed seeing the rare woodpeckers Ed.
You and CN Charlie talked birds, and the Baltimore Orioles always preferred an orange slice, or marmalade jelly.
Peanuts out of the shell used to be like a Sport in the evening over here. The garbage can right by the couch. A three or four banger was like winning a prize!
Prescott, Wisconsin. Right over the river and down awayes from Hastings, MN.

Got the oranges out as we type! An Oriole stopped by on Thursday but he was just passing through. We usually have a pair or two stay for the summer.

We always had orange slices nailed to a board at the resort on Lake Kabetogama and enjoyed the Baltimore Orioles as well
