The Blaak Tower in Rotterdam (NL) is popularly known as 'The Pencil'. Looking at a corner with a shadow and sunny side, I got the impulse to try and mix them up in a pattern. This resulted in a new association as mentioned in the title.

This looked like a pebble or clump of sargassum or a broken piece of coral ... and then it moved! This tiny crab (about 4 cm across) has a face that "only a mother could love". But watching it slide across the sand was super fun, and gave a unique opportunity to isolate the crab from its surroundings - if you find them (and we have seen only a few before), they are usually tucked under rocks or deep inside cracks, well out of photo reach.

There are many box crab species. I will go with "yellow box crab", but if you are more confident of the species id, let me know!

Taken with my "wide angle" lens. (The "eternal" debate before each dive - wide angle or macro?) Fortunately, at 70mm I was able to get close enough to get the image.

Hit "z" twice for a close up view of that lovely face.

Chocolate mudcake gift box style. The cake didn't come out as high - this is 3''. The gift box cakes tend to look better as a 4'' height

I've used Pearl Lustre Spray for the silver & gold.

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

This pretty little pill box was a gift from a friend in Australia. The lid is firmly 'closed' to keep the pills safe inside.

The Plausible Box from a Starbucks coffee bag.

Finished a bag of coffee beans this morning and I chucked it out. But then I felt bad -- it was made of some interesting laminate material and the design work showed some effort. (Red silhouette Vespa, yeah, that takes effort.) So, I ripped it apart and cleaned it up and made a box out of it. Folds not so great -- you really have to crease it. But I figure it's very waterproof.

I was going to go inside and leave it on a table, but I find that Starbucks has this jive-ass policy of not allowing photographs inside their cafés and I didn't want to freak anybody out. Instead, I stuck the box on the windowsill.

The Jewel Box is a greenhouse located in Forest Park, St. Louis, Missouri. It now serves as a public horticultural facility and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was designed by architect William C. E. Becker and built in 1936 by the Robert Paulus Construction Company.

I was actually pretty happy to see this pull in. I know it's "just" a Boxster Spyder, but it actually has some "rarity" if you would, to it. Love this little beast.

Signal box at Blea Moor, beside the path from Ribblehead Viaduct to Whernside.

It doesn't have a phone anymore.

Most of the time, we artistic photographers try to think "outside the box". But not this time.

Apparently this bag type is called a 'box pouch'. I've been looking at various tutorials, youtube videos and pictures to see what the basic idea is and how I can make my own little changes. I particularly love the strap on one side, tab on the other idea. On this bag I made the tab wider, just because. I decided that a narrow tab is the way to go.

This bag is a gift for someone who loves green and chartreuse. Both fabrics are from the Geogram fabric line by Samarra Khaja. I was careful to line up the print and quilting along the zipper edge.

Aren't these fabrics fabulous? I love the different shades of green- even the grey is on the green side when you look at it carefully. So I picked a green background to go with it, of course.

I finished this bag just in time for 'Different Shades of Green' in the "Looking Close...on Friday!" group. Woot!

It looks just like deluxe chocolate box albeit being crooked and wonky! One of the ceilings in the National Museum, Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania. I highly recommend this for those who are interested in grandeur historic interior decorations.
