Beautiful Home

This beautiful structure is on the corner of a street in Northville, NY.  There are some really gorgeous homes in that little rural town.

Another Abandoned Home

I was driving down a road I've never been on before and came across this abandoned home.  There are so many of them in this area.  The roof is completely caved in but I couldn't get any closer because of the fence around the property.  

I wonder who pays the taxes, or if there are any taxes that have to be paid.

This looks like it might have been a nice home once upon a time.

Abandoned Old Home

Another abandoned structure in Eastland, Texas.  The door was unlocked and I was able to get a few images of the inside of the structure~~part of the ceiling was ripped open, there was trash on the floor and there was even an upright vacuum cleaner in the rooms.

It looks like it must have been a nice home once upon a time.

Abandoned Mobil Home

This mobil home is located in a locked-fenced yard that's overgrown and appears to have been abandoned for a long time.  It looks like it might have been a nice home structure once upon a time, but it certainly isn't right now.

Habitat for Humanity

While driving around I saw this house being renovated for Habitat for Humanity.  I knew the organization was in Abilene, but I never knew where any of the structures were located.  

I was able to go inside and see the layout.  It looked like there would be 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in addition to kitchen, laundry room, living room and other space.  There was also a nice big back yard.

This Remodel is Taking a Loooooong Time

The house in the lot next to the church I photographed in the previous post seems to be under some construction.   I noticed this skeleton resting on the bench on the porch.

I couldn't resist getting a shot.

Rocking Chairs

While waiting for a friend outside Cracker Barrel, I snapped this photo of the rocking chairs they have for sale.  They even have smaller chairs for children now.

Porch on Building

Yesterday I had the chance to take a field trip to Weatherford, Texas with a friend.

It was so exciting to get out of the house.  About 10 days ago I somehow pulled a muscle in my foot and it's very, very painful and very difficult to walk.  But yesterday I just persevered through the pain as we went to another town to get some new images.

This building is part of the campus of the Pythian Home for Children in Weatherford.  As we entered the property we met one of the workers who wound up giving us a personal tour of the building.  He's and another employee are in the process of decorating the home for Christmas.

There are currently 15 children in residence right now.  

This Children's Home was part of the movie

"12 Mighty Orphans".

I've never heard of it, but I did some research and it is a movie based on a book. Now I want to read the book AND see the movie.

Abandoned home in very small town, West Texas.  Off to the right of the image, in what must have been a driveway at one time, was a car.  My friend said it wasn't too old, it had a license plate on the front bumper, but the registration had expired about 4 years ago.

Do people actually just walk out of a home, leave their car and never return?  

I can't wrap my brain around that.
