Another Abandoned Structure

At the end of Abilene there's another abandoned building.  It looks like there might be some restoration going on, but not sure.

Vacant Building on South Side

This corner building is vacant and has been for a number of years.  The wood is painted blue but the windows and doors are boarded up with no access to the inside.

Wonder what the building was originally?

Another Bronc Rider

The rodeo was great.  This rodeo features events that actually take place on a ranch.

Old Bank Building

The vacant/abandoned bank building was seen in a totally forsaken small town.  I thought it was wild that there was a cactus growing out of the roof.

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.

Wind Mills

There are several wind mill farms around here.  Today I was out driving the country roads looking for a photo op and I came near to this grouping of wind mills.

It was the only sight I saw on my drive that looked photographically attractive, so I 

made a few images.  Then, since I was near my daughter's house, I stopped there for a few minutes for a visit with mom & dad and the kiddos.

Hitting the Ball

At the softball game one of our hitters smacked the ball, which you can see on the right side of the image, and ran a few bases.  

It was a good game.

Abandoned Bank Building

I came across this old abandoned bank building in a small, almost non-existent town about 1.5 hours from Abilene.  The date on the front of the building, which I removed, was 1911.

I wonder how many years the bank was active and how much of a town existed at that time?

Overhead Door with Sign

This green overhead door has a faded No Parking Sign on it.  There are three doors along the side of the building, but only this one sign that's totally faded.

Antique Mall Sign

I pass this antique mall every time I visit my daughter.  I've been inside it once. 

I love to look at antiques, but I'm in the process of getting rid of things, not collecting them, so I don't go inside anymore.

Decisions, Decisions

One of the coffee shops in town has this bulletin board just inside the front door.  It always has so many flyers for activities.  So many decisions.
