Goodness, that is one big gecko. The general store shouldn't have any problems with flies.
The old train is really cool. Any time hubby and I see trains in our travels we have to check them out.
Wow, what a cool surprise! Thanks, sis! I love that old train, but the gecko rules!!! He is so colorful and BIG!
Well, I don't know why I got signed in with my old name! Maybe it has to do with commenting on my iPad? Anyway, it is Ginny, of course! I used to use this name before I had a blog!
Hum, thought I left my comment?
I like small towns and quaint shops.
That is one massive train and they have kept it in perfect condition.
What a neat place for a photo shoot. Who knew the gecko would become such an art icon. Well done!
Hello, I have enjoyed my visit to your blog! The train is wonderful -- I love the dogs! I hope you have a blessed day,

I love old engines....and geckos!!
Best,
Bonnie
love it - you're taking requests now for your blog - just like i tried to take cattle for you for mine. be careful, or you'll have geckos overrunning your place now (of course, jake would like that...)
:)
We do have big geckos in Florida. We have a lot downtown Orlando. :)
I really like the black and white train. I always like old general stores. Nice pics Sandra.
I love our historical park. The old home emeinds me so much of my grandparents' home, though theirs was not so fine. My grnadpa had a sugar cane mill and the big vat.
When I was a little girl, my parents knew someone who lived upstairs in the Wiggins building, and we often went there to visit.
Yes, it's not TEXAS --but you all do grow big Geckos in Florida!!!!!!
Love seeing that old train...
Hugs,
Betsy
That building looks very "Southern" :) Impressive locomotive (and good pictures of it), I took a peek at your friend's blog. My dad was crazy about old railways and engines, I can't see one without thinking of him. Before I moved away from home I had travelled more by steam engines than on modern trains because we always visited lots of museum railways on our family holidays (in Sweden and Britain).
Your header is beautiful!!!! I somehow had missed it last night, was it on then? It was about three o'clock A.M. when I commented. But I'm back and looking at it in wonderment!
leaping lizards...that is a big gekko....looks like a fun place...

That's a cute gekko! Nice and colorful.
