The Historic Queen Theatre in Richmond, Texas, is a historic landmark, fascinating visitors for almost a century. It was built in 1920, originally as a vaudeville and movie house, and was a central hub of activity in this small Texas town for decades. The theatre is located in the heart of downtown Richmond, near the local courthouse and town square.

The Queen Theatre is a unique example of the Baroque Revival style of architecture, featuring a symmetrical façade and a large, multi-story archway. The interior includes a stage, balcony seating, and a large auditorium. It has been refurbished over the years, with new interior paint and light fixtures, as well as modernized sound and projection systems.

The Queen Theatre is still in use today, hosting live events, film festivals, and movie screenings. It is also used for special events such as weddings, receptions, and private screenings. The theatre is a beloved landmark in the community, and it continues to be a treasured piece of Richmond’s history.

Happiness Eastern Bluebird, <i>Sialia sialis</i>, high enough that some of my companions on the monthly bird hike were uncertain of the ID until I zoomed in about this tight while chimping. “Ron’s got a bluebird,” they said, making me happy. 😃
Two for Brunch Black Vultures, Coragyps atratus, sharing a very large fish beside a rather small pond. Had shown the pair before, cf. first comment. Buffering this with two more somewhat prettier bird photos. Happy Wing Wednesday!
Emerald Isle Perched pond in the middle of a neighborhood keeps the alligators out, and the moat keeps the cats out, making this a nice place for birds of various sorts. Pretty similar to a previous B&W post. Maybe I’ll be rested enough to be a little more creative next week. Maybe. Happy Tree Tuesday!

Spirit of Abundance Skein of Black-Bellied Whistling Ducks, <i>Dendrocygna autumnalis</i>. The web says a group of ducks in flight is called a “skein”, which it isn’t unless we do, so I have. 😃
Letting Go Equanimity. Acceptance will sustain us. Be Here Now, Always. American Lotus, <i>Nelumbo lutea</i>. Looking back and forward to plentiful water in Cullinan Park.

Watch Your Back Muscovy Duck, Cairina moschata. Not a long-time native of Texas, but like many others, got here as soon as it could. Originally Latin American, “Muscovy” is probably a transliteration from some Indigenous language. Happy Wing Wednesday!
