Happy Monday! I recently visited this architectural marvel. The Polk County Courthouse is a stunning Beaux-Arts building. Its majestic exterior and grand interior reflect its importance as a hub for legal proceedings and a symbol of civic pride. I felt that dramatic BNW edit will work the best for this image. What do you think?
The park down in Printers Row is getting a face lift. No, this photo isn't backwards. :)

A busy late morning between Polk Street and Roosevelt Road on the south end of Chicago Union Station finds BNSF 2655 switching bilevels in the "Zephyr Pit" while a pair of F40PHs in solid Metra blue shove an inbound BNSF (or possibly Southwest Service, I wasn't paying attention) run into the station. Meanwhile, Amtrak P42DC 11 pulls out, heading for the coach yard with the equipment of that morning's train 29, the 'Capitol Limited', which arrived from Washington, DC only slightly late, for a change.
As viewed looking north from the Polk St. Bridge, the Southwest Chief departs Chicago for points west. The right of way between Polk and Harrison streets has since been covered up by air rights overhead construction.
Created for TMI's ROOTS! challenge and for Hypothetical Awards' "C’MON, SING US A SONG" challenge.
Song inspiration: Tony Joe White's "Polk Salad Annie".
These are all root vegetables: rutabaga, red radishes, black radish, purple and orange beets, ginger root, parsnip, yuca root, and one whose name I forgot ;-).
It was nearing dusk on a very cold and windy March evening at Circle B Bar Reserve. Leaves and Spanish Moss kept blowing in front of the owl, not helping with a distant and already difficult shot, cropped closely here.
The owl is in a tree within sight of its nest and owlets, a ways back from the observation area staff have marked off.

My former employer (UW-Oshkosh) asked me to design their campus library out of Lego! The model has about 4800 pieces and is 15" x 22.5".

"If some of ya'll never been down south too much
I'm gonna tell you a little bit about this
So that you'll understand what I'm talkin' about
Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods
And in the fields looks somethin' like a turnip green
And everybody calls it polk salad, polk salad
Used to know a girl lived down there
And she'd go out in the evenings and pick her a mess of it
Carry it home and cook it for supper
'Cause thats about all they had to eat, but they did all right...."

Polk Salad Annie gator got your Granny (chomp chomp)..
Telling my age, when I was little my Granny would cook polk salad and the song Polk Salad Annie came out in the late 60's..
Polk berries and little boys are a dangerous combination. They are said to be poisonous, I don't know, but they will definitely stain. I well remember after playing with them as a child my Mother was less than pleased
