Welcome to another EPISODE of ABC Wednesday.
Today's EMPHASIS is on the letter " E ".
I decided to ELABORATE on the theme word EMPTY.
EARLY last week we went through the California town of
ESPARTO. It's population is only 1600.
There was certainly nothing ELABORATE about the city.
ERSTWHILE during the Golden Age of Railroads one
could find EXCITMENT and ENERGY.
Now many buildings, like this one, are EMPTY .
ENLARGING EACH photo will show the detail better.
Just one week ago we worked at the Placer Food Bank
Fundraiser called EMPTY bowls.
Due to the decline of the ECONOMY and the lack of
EMPLOYMENT, many are hungry.
EMPTY Bowls is an EFFECTIVE symbol describing life
for many now.
This photo could be called EMPTY Dreams.
The EGRESS... EXIT... or ENTRANCE of this building holds
memories and dreams of literal EARTHLY riches.
This Waystation, in the desert, was the overnight stop on
the quest for gold and silver.
People were EARNESTLY EAGER to find wealth and
a better way of life.
Few did.
Lastly, these EMPTY branches are beginning to welcome
an EARLY Spring.
Soon blossoms will EMBELLISH the naked trees.
Now go to the ABC link on my sidebar for your EDIFICATION
and ENJOYMENT.

I love that very old building, it is so well camouflaged with the mountains!!!
E = Enjoy your pictures. :)
those empty bowls make a big statement and are also pretty to look at and i like that old stone building.
Wonderful and down to Earth post my friend.
As ever Suzan you give us a well informed and wonderfully illustrated collection - always with humility as well as creativity and we thank you for it.

I enjoyed this post very much. I find empty towns from the past to be very interesting. The desert way station has a start beautiful I love. Empty bowls and food banks are very important, great idea to feature that today. Spring is in the air although here we had premature spring and then winter came back to turn early blooms brown.

Another exciting collection of E's in your post! Luvvet!
Happy valentine's day!

Empty, waiting to be filled, or empty, when everything or everybody is gone, - it arouses two very different emotions. Anticipation or reminiscence....
Interesting use of words with great images.
Love that you chose the word EMPTY. I almost chose the same word but would not have done such a great job.
As ever the word empty is so full of everything.
Your post is full of interesting empty subjects. Thanks for all the E-words! you help me to increase my vocabulary!
Have a great day tomorrow.

I'm sure those EMPTY bowls, in the right hands, will be filled with good stuff.

An edifying use of 'E'. And a sad comment on modern life too.
What a nice post. The empty bowls are a good reminder and that old building is completely charming!
Empty dreams sounds sad. But on second thought emptiness implies there is room for something to be filled. :)
I loved this post and your photos. Loved the first house - looks like two VERY different families built one house on top of another. Really interesting. I also loved the third, earthen house. What an incredible shot - and what earthy colors!
Always a joy to visit Each week, you never let me down, I love your E post today.
Loved your post, as usual, and the photos, too. I like how they pop up now on blogger.

Great photos and lots of E words. That abandoned building looks like it was a beauty in its day. Love all the bowls!
I stopped by to see what you're all about. I also have a amateur photography blog that I allow other's to submit photos for posting.
You have a good eye and I enjoyed your photos. I will be following you and hope you will check our our site as well. Never know, you may have some favorites you want to share.

Thanks for sharing your talent
Beautiful collection of bowls. Sad that they are empty. Nice collection of 'e's too. Thanks for visiting and commenting. Touchy subject, but needed to be done, I think.
Lovely E post. The waystation looks creepy but somehow it's something I would explore with a couple of friends with the same fancy. The first photo - never noticed it was empty until I read it was. Maybe I'm just too used to looking at empty buildings in my part of the world when the real estate business flopped a decade ago.
I just found your blog through Andy David, I love your photos, I skimmed through some of your blogs and they are beautiful. Jan Neel/Daisy Inthewind

The empty bowls speak volumes about the need to eliminate hunger from society!

Love the way-station it looks as though it has grown out of the rock. The buds are just starting to appear here now, it will be lovely when the blossom appears on your trees.
wow! I really like those bowls...really cool!
I love the bowls and the images are superb.
Love all the pictures...I adore pottery and you have some good looking bowls there.
But the orchard take the cake, as I do miss the rows and rows of trees in the valley that we enjoyed for so many years.
I am partial to old train depots. And the bowls are a beautiful and touching reminder of empty stomachs. Excellent E collection.
Wow, this is a really cool post and a great photo collection. All wonderful "E's".
thank ou so much for sharing.
In the next round I come to your blog to look for a E-word ! You mentioned so many ! I love the red house in the red rocks !
Nice pictures.
Four Excellent Examples of Empty! the empty bowls is certainly a powerful visual.
Great photos! And a great elaboration around the letter E.
I like your abc posts :-)
ENJOYED the photos Sue!
