Three Grandchildren

Went to the zoo today.  One family visiting from Alaska the other lives local.

The kiddos are looking at the grey heron exhibit.

What cute kids.

Painted Fence

At the zoo this morning, I saw this pretty painted fence with wildflowers behind it.

Such a pretty scene.

One of the buildings in downtown Abilene has these letters on it.  The building seems to be vacant right now.

Theo of Golden

I belong to a book group that meets once a month.  This is the book we're reading now.  I never heard of it until now.  I've been trying not to buy books (which isn't really working very well) so that I don't have  extra "things" in my house to clean out, or to leave behind for my kiddos to clean out.

I borrowed this book from one of the other members......

If you haven't read this book, get yourself a copy.  It's fantastic.  The writing is wonderful and the story is great.  I'm only halfway through it.  I'm reading it fast and then slow. I want to know what happens but I want it to last.  I have to give it back to the owner but I think I'll purchase my own copy so I can re-read it whenever I want to.  

Rating it from one to ten, it's a 10+++++++, just sayin'.

Spring Softball Game

This church softball team is conferring before the game begins on a beautiful spring evening.  

They finished their warm-up and are just waiting to see who bats first.

A Bull Statue

While waiting for the IRS to open, I saw this bull statue. 

So interesting.

Colored Circles

I went into a building I've never been in before in Abilene.  I needed to go to the IRS office.  While waiting for it to open after their lunch break I wandered around and saw this circle sculpture.  

Pretty interesting, right?

Fishing

It was another beautiful early spring day today.  

EASTER

I took a short ride to get out of the house and went to the lake near my place.  There were many folks at the lake fishing and enjoying the day.

I managed to get a pic of this guy without him noticing me.

Abandoned Gas Station

On the way into Colorado City there are some abandoned structures.  This one happens to be an old gas station.  On the right corner is what was the office and to the  left of the image there are two overhead doors where work on the cars probably took place.

Building in Colorado City

Today was a lovely weather day.  About 70 degrees with a slight wind. 

 By the middle of the afternoon I decided I needed to get out of the house and get some fresh air, so I drove to Colorado City.  I've been there before and taken photos there as well, but I never got this perspective of this abandoned building that might have been a hotel,

About 7.5 years ago I took some images of this structure.  At that time there were signs indicating that the building would be remodeled and refurbished.  So far that hasn't happened.

It's sad to see this structure continue to go to wrack n ruin.
