Gray Catbird perched on a branch just off of the Shady Oaks Trail out at Circle B Bar Reserve located in the City of Lakeland in Polk County Florida U.S.A.
A cousin of the mockingbird, these medium-sized gray songbirds are common across the warmer parts of North America, where they are frequently heard (but less often seen) in backyards and parks. They often return to the same summer territory year after year.
Catbirds’ bodies are a uniform soft gray, with black caps, and rust-red feathers under their relatively long tails. They often perch with a lowered tail and appear hunchbacked.
Smaller and slimmer than an American robin, catbirds measure 8 to 9 inches (20 to 23 centimeters) long.

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 ;-).
The Polk County Courthouse in Osceola, Nebraska, is a Beaux Arts-style building designed by architect William F. Gernandt. It was built in 1921-22 and is located on the Courthouse Square in Osceola. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
It is a two-story courthouse building on a raised basement, about 98 by 68 feet in plan, with entrances on north and south facades. Its National Register nomination describes it as "a tour de force of classically inspired ornamentation rendered in creamcolored terra cotta and contrasting tan-grey brick. A variety of rich classical detail, immense columns, pronounced cornice, and rusticated basement are hallmarks of the Beaux Arts Style exhibited on the building. In particular, the terra cotta detail is a visual delight. Acroteria and rosettes march along the top of the projecting cornice, with consoles in an acanthus pattern and an egg-and-dart course below. Shields, della Robbia wreaths, swags, and geometric patterns further adorn the facade."
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 and Taylor. Taylor heavily documented his life, while Polk not so much. I really like Polk's moxy in office.
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
