May, 2012. New Jersey.
A beautiful female Eastern Box Turtle crosses a busy rural road in New Jersey. The Garden State is the most densely populated state in the country and in turn many of its roads carry unusually high traffic volume. This coupled with fragmented habitat makes Eastern Box Turtles exceptionally vulnerable to road mortality. The Eastern Box Turtle is listed as a Species of Special Concern in New Jersey.

not very exciting... it's a plastic translucent lid that snaps tightly at both sides. i haven't closed this one all the way yet; as you can see it's not completely cool yet.
FIELD MARK-The box turtle or box tortoise is a genus of turtle native to North America (United States and Mexico). The 12 taxa which are distinguished in the genus are distributed over four species.

This old-fashioned police box, now a historical curiosity, will instantly be recognized by fans of the TV series 'Dr Who' as the "Tardis"! The box, and 120 others like it across Sheffield, played an important part in the fight against crime from the 1920s through to the 1960s. Originally, the boxes had blue lights on the top, which flashed if there was an urgent message waiting for police officers. The box was also used for sheltering from the rain, eating sandwiches and report writing. Sheffield is one of the very few cities in the UK where these boxes can still be seen.

This wall box is part of my arch/shrine series. It alludes to trees, nature, the evolving circle of our life and those things that we find important or pray to. It is porcelain, pattern is carved through black underglaze in a technique called Sgraffito. These boxes look marvelous in groupings of 2 or more.
sgraf·fi·to (skră-fē'tō, zgrä-) Decoration produced on pottery or ceramic by scratching through a surface of plaster or glazing to reveal a different color underneath. Ware decorated in this manner.
Found this silicone Jello-O brand mold at Linens and Things for $7. It's dishwasher, oven and microwave safe. (So you can bake in it)
Postland Signal Box in November 2005. A remarkable survivor although it has seen better days. This is on the former line between March and Spalding that closed in November 1982. There are other boxes on this line that survive at Murrow, French Drove and Cowbit. Plans have been mentioned to reopen this line, but the opening of the A16 over a section of the old line make this look unlikely.
Each year, Gallery Route One in Point Reyes invites over a hundred artists to create unique works of art using a wooden box.
Here are the inspiring artworks they created this year: they range in style from whimsical to poignant and thought-provoking. These photos were taken on closing day, when the gallery organized a live auction for each of this year’s 150 boxes. The proceeds support the gallery’s exhibits and community programs.
Two of the boxes were created by members of our art community: Howard Rheingold (a.k.a. Dr. Rindbrain) contributed an illuminated box called ‘Magical’, while Geo Monley and Meryl Rubenstein made ‘Les Puzzles.’
Members of ‘Pataphysical Studios came to cheer for their peers -- Dr. Really was the highest bidder for Dr. Rindbrain’s piece, which was thus kept in the family. After the show, we all went to Stellina to celebrate over a nice dinner.
