A gorgeous Box Bug on leaves of Scilla peruviana in the front garden. This was one of those species that eluded my searches for so many years, and now one turns up in the garden. What a fabulous visitor.
Box Bug (Gonocerus acuteangulatus)
This one suddenly appeared flying across my office and landed on a power lead...
The impressive North British Railway signal box at Reedsmouth, stood on the platform in the vee of the junction of the Border Counties and Wansbeck Valley Railways. It replaced an earlier lower structure in the same location and contained a 50 lever Stevens & Sons frame, with only 5 spare levers. It remained open until complete closure of the line between Woodburn and Bellingham in November 1963. However, it escaped demolition and for many subsequent years became increasingly derelict before being converted into a dwelling. Sadly, in the process it has lost most of its original features.
When opened the memories come flooding back to my wife. Naturally she emailed my photographs to her pen-pal from all those years ago.
For A Painter...
What I envy about painters is that they generally do their art in one place. A studio. You don't meet many mobile painters.
To do my thing, I have to move around. That moving around allows me to see things. The one-off things are generally related to other things that I have seen. And sometimes I am able to piece those things back to people I know or know of.
And so it is with me and weird boxed-in old houses. They exist and I'm drawn to them. They are odd. They make me uneasy but they are also comforting, somehow.
This one was deliberately seen for Jennifer Conneely, the painter. www.instagram.com/alonerjen_art/ Who's painting work I admire and draw inspiration from. She works static, in one place. I told her I'd be her legs for houses that are surrounded.

Lidded box with Dachshund millefiori cane decoration. The dachshund cane was my second attempt at a really complicated millefiori cane.....whew it took me ages, 2 weeks to be precise and once finished weighed a whopping 1.2 kg. After reduction I had a bit more than half left and its a bit more wonky than I hoped it would be, I think I need to practise this a lot....but not now I'm a bit canned out after all that! Now what am I going to do with all that dachshund cane!
I am an ocean.
I am a tide.
I am a constant change between yes and no.

Go ahead to my blog to see the rest of what I wrote for this photographs!
Quelle a été ma joie de voir cet Juke-Box aux couleurs chatoyantes toujours en marche dans le centre de Victoria Market d'Auckland.

Bear boxes have various designs. All require that you have at least one person in your party with fingers and who is smarter than a bear.
I haven't seen this kind of lock elsewhere.
Dune Creek Camp, Great Sand Dunes National Park. The camp is nestled in some cottonwoods along Sand Creek, facing the end of the dune field. It's altogether serviceable but not a "destination" site like Aspen.
I bought a huge box and bag of ribbons and lace at an estate sale recently. There are truly some incredible things in there! More designs than I could have imagined!!
This looks to be the hem of a dress or petticoat- it was just cut off from something- makes a full circle! It is delicate and lovely and SO unusual in the square design along the bottom!
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky,
Little boxes, little boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.
And the people in the houses
All go to the university,
And they all get put in boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
And there's doctors and there's lawyers
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.
And they all play on the golf-course,
And drink their Martini dry,
And they all have pretty children,
And the children go to school.
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university,
And they all get put in boxes
And they all come out the same.
And the boys go into business,
And marry, and raise a family,
And they all get put in boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.

A little addition, the yellow Mail Box is the post office of V City. As a corner building, it could just be a typical one using up all the space provided, but I want to reclaim it back to the public. I open up the two sides of the box, creating a semi-outdoor entrance. The building is then constructed along the remaining two walls.
The grey little box is the entrance where you have the normal mail services and buy postcards and stuff. The black box is the office area, in which staff sorts the mail and does other administrative things. The lift shaft and the loading bay hide nicely behind these two walls also, without disrupting the grand entrance space.
The top roof has an opening, allowing the drones to be dispatched. What a fast way to do quick mailing service!
