Green Heron

Waxhaw, NC  2026

The drainage ponds in our community attract geese and ducks.  On a recent walk, I noticed this fellow.  I'm pretty sure it is a juvenile green heron.  I had never seen one before.  

 

Van Wyck Mining Co.

Van Wyck, SC  2026

I could find no information about this recreation of a mine office located behind the passenger wait station pictured in yesterday's post. I found it to be pretty whimsical with the water wheel and the wooden tombstones along the side.  Note also the backwards "N" in the sign as well as the sign designating the "Essay Office".  

Van Wyck Passenger Wait Station

Van Wyck, SC  2026

This passenger wait station was built by the Seaboard Air Line Rail Road in 1900.  After passenger service ended, the station was restored and now serves as an historical marker and memorial to the early 20th century days of railroading in Van Wyck, SC.
