When the U.S. 131 freeway was built between Big Rapids and Reed City, Michigan in the 1980's, there was a farm bulldozed and the only thing left standing was an Outhouse...in the median of the new freeway! For many years the old Outhouse survived but eventually this lilac bush, shown in the top picture, took over and the building eventually collapsed.
The bottom two photos show the only remains left of the outhouse.

What else can you see in the images shown? Many times a photo is worth a thousand words and I've only elaborated with a few so here is your chance to add some "color commentary" to my collection. If your addition is worthy, you will find the quote added on the Comments to the Curator page. You can use Email to respond. If you choose to go to the Comments to the Curator page, be prepared to relax with a large beverage of your choice. The reading is spectacular!
