Yankee Hill Lock

This is the remnant of the Yankee Hill Lock when goods were moved from the east side of NY to the west side by waterway.  To the left of the image is the Mohawk River.  

This is a destination spot with the original store in between the lock and the river (not seen).  During the summer there are concerts held in front of the store.  There are also picnic tables and grills scattered around for people to have picnics and meetings.

It didn't rain until after the party was over.

Great-Grand Baby

This is my first great-grand baby.  She's just turned one.  

She's adorable and she's very expressive. She's not used to me yet, and I probably won't see her again for another year, but that's what happens when you live across the country.

Farm near the lake

This farm is near the shore of the Great Sacandaga Lake in upstate NY.  Below it, nearer the water line, is a beautiful house~~maybe where the farm owners live.  

This is such a serene image!!

Small Sandy Island

The Great Sacandaga Lake is dotted with islands of various sizes, and this small sandy lake seems to attract folks who like the isolation of it.

Underside of Bridge

This bridge goes across the Mohawk River from the south side of Amserterdam, to the north side.  There's a walkway that goes under the bridge also from the north to south.

In the summer there's a concert series once a month on the north side that's usually very well attended.

Beautiful Home at Lakeside      

This beautiful home is sitting on the shore of the Great Sacandaga Lake on a lovely early summer day.

Some Pretty Cups

I was in a discount store and saw these pretty cups on a shelf.  

I use one cup and one travel mug, so there's no point in purchasing any more, I just thought these

were pretty so I grabbed a photo of them with my phone.

New Sign

Some folks I know are getting ready to open a new airbnb.  This is the sign they had designed for the address of the place in the Adirondack Mts.  This side has a moose and the other side has a mountain.  

The bnb is located in a perfect place to visit many tourist places, or to just rest and relax.

Along the Mohawk River

Just a beautiful scene with the trees and grass in bloom and the blue sky in the background.

Aqua Artwork

The bridge going from the north side of town over the river to the south side of town has some beautiful artwork displayed.  This is one of my favorites.  I don't usually like abstract art, but I certainly like this one.

Mosaic Artwork

There's a park I went to today and I saw this beautiful mosaic artwork on this wall.

New Boardwalk

I'm visiting a place that has added a new board walk since the last time I was here.  It runs along a river, not a beach (sadly), but it's very nice and I hope the folks who live here take good care of it.

Fresh Painted Coca-Cola sign

This bright coca-cola sign seems to be freshly painted and is on the side of a building in central Texas.

7 UP sign

This graphic for 7 UP is on the side of an abandoned building in a central Texas town.

Abandoned White House on Road

This White House is alone the Main Street entering a small town in central Texas.  It's been vacant for a long time.

Old Army Jeep

There's a military museum in Abilene, TX and in the back alley they have some vehicles behind chain link fences.  This is one of the military jeeps in that area.

Corner Windows

This is another abandoned structure in downtown Cisco, TX.  It's hard to tell what it might have been in its glory days.

Abandoned Railway Station

This old railway station is down one of the side streets in Cisco, TX.  The front part, where the door is, appears to be the entrance where people could purchase tickets and wait for the train.  The rear of the building must have been where they loaded and unloaded freight.

Another View of abandoned bldg

This is another view of the previous abandoned building where you can see a broken window pane and part of the fire escape against a blue, late spring day.

137/365

Abandoned Corner Building

This building on main street sits on a corner in Cisco, TX.  It's been abandoned for many years.  Some of the windows are broken, there are curtains in some of the upstairs windows and the main floor is basically one open space.  

The fire escape looks to be in good condition, but who knows.  

I just always wonder if someone is paying taxes on this structure and why they would let it go to wrack and ruin like this.
