Happy Fourth of July
I'm not sure if it's just me, but it seems that as we approached America's 250th Anniversary, that patriotic displays are a bit subdued this year. I thought I would see more flags and bunting. Perhaps it's a reflection of the current state of our country this year. Nevertheless, Happy Fourth of July!!

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".
