This week we are sharing photos of things that are old, dilapidated or vintage. I have three examples. The first one is from last year that I took while on a boat ride in Florida on the Homosassa River. This house has definitely seen better days.

The next photo is from a recent trip to Alligator River Wildlife Refuge on Roanoke Island in North Carolina. This place has a lot of bear that can be seen on a regular basis in the spring and fall. We didn’t see any this trip but saw evidence of them.

The last image is one on a bike trail we frequent. It is a house built in the late 1700’s – early 1800’s. It first served as the Dismal Swamp Canal’s lock keeper’s house, then as a store for a lumber company, a commission booster for a pioneer telegraph line through this part of the state, a tea room and a private home. I love stopping at the site every time we go by it.

I am sure someone enjoyed those homes by the water in their better days. Great images, Nora. 😊
Thanks Irene

Excellent examples Nora – I especially loved the closing image with its pretty pink flowers on such a worn-down house!
Thanks Tina – it’s a cool place
I am sure the two houses were beautiful when it was in its prime…imagine a house near the waters and a house with pink flowering trees.
Thanks Teresa!
Wonderful set of images, Nora. The last one is my favorite.
Thanks Amy!!
