This bento was packed for my 2.5 year old in case she wouldn't eat any food from the buffet at a family birthday party. (She wouldn't...not that she ate much of the bento either...)
Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday everyone! Gonocerus acuteangulatus is a herbivorous species of true bug in the family Coreidae. It is commonly known as the Box Bug in the UK as it once only occurred in Box Hill in Surrey where it fed on box trees. Having expanded its range it now occurs widely in the south-east of England and beyond. It is exploiting different foodplants, and has been found on hawthorn, buckthorn, yew and plum trees. I most usually find it on Dog Roses, but on this occasion it was a bramble!
Cosa ci può essere di meglio di un weekend organizzato all'ultimo minuto a Londra?
E lasciamo perdere se è piovuto sempre, ma non quei temporali da un quarto d'ora e basta, no... quella pioggerellina leggera per tutto il giorno con un cielo cielo grigio che pare non finire mai. E lasciamo pure stare se la macchina fotografica ha avuto problemi e non sono riuscita a scattare una foto decente. E anche il nuovo aggiornamento iOs6 sul telefono sta creando non pochi inconvenienti e metà delle foto che ho fatto sono sparite....
Londra è sempre meravigliosa e non me ne stancherò mai! Ma dovete accontentarvi di quello che c'è... quindi per oggi questa scattata con Hipstamatic, lente John S, pellicola Ina's1969.
(Però ci sono anche io... sul Gatwick Express :-))
What could be better than a weekend getaway at the last minute in London?
And never mind if it rained forever, but not those rainstorms by a quarter of an hour and that's it, no ... that drizzle all day long with a gray sky that seems to never end. And the camera had problems and was not able to take a decent picture. And the new update iOs6 on the phone is creating many problems and half of the photos I took are gone ....
London is always wonderful and I never get tired! But you have to settle for what there is ... Today this, taken with Hipstamatic, John S lens, film Ina's1969.
(But there are even I.... on the Gatwick Express :-))
One of my favourite photos of Southport Chapel Street box (& station).
Taken from the disused & lifted carriage sidings.
Before resignalling Southport just oozed with signalling character, (Now sadly lost & just a memory)
I really didn't think this one would make it home for Christmas!

Designed by Dasa Severova, featuring Shuzo Fujimoto's Hydrangea.
the bigger box (yellow and red) was made from a square of side length 69.5 cm (27.375 in) while the smaller box (white and blue) was made from a square of side length 16.5 cm (6.5 in).
Oddly enough, the smaller one was easier to make.
An antique dealer friend of mine gave these to me today. Quite a few model parts, decals and brochures are still in the boxes. The Chevy truck is built and complete.
I suddenly realised that a lot of 'younger' togs would possibly not know of a Box Brownie... It was a very low cost Eastman Kodak camera that revolutionised the taking of photos by 'The masses'..

A box office or ticket office is a place where tickets are sold to the public for admission to an event. Patrons may perform the transaction at a countertop, through a hole in a wall or window, or at a wicket. By extension, the term is frequently used, especially in the context of the film industry, as a synonym for the amount of business a particular production, such as a film or theatre show, receives.
Box office business can be measured in the terms of the number of tickets sold or the amount of money raised by ticket sales (revenue). The projection and analysis of these earnings is very important for the creative industries and often a source of interest for fans. This is predominant in the Hollywood movie industry.
This Box Office is in the Dome Cinema, Worthing, West Sussex, England, and is a grade II* listed building owned by PDJ Cinemas Ltd. The Dome Cinema, which has three screens and a Projectionist's Bar is run by PDJ Cinemas, while Alfresco Services run two function rooms and the cafe at the front of the building. It has closed for refurbishment several times, most recently between December 2005 and July 2007. The name derives from the distinctive dome on top of a three-storey tower over the entrance.
The Dome is an Edwardian building and one of the oldest working cinemas in England, and was opened in 1911 (Brighton's Duke of York's Picture House was opened in 1910). It was opened by Swiss impresario Carl Adolf Seebold. It was originally named The Kursaal — a German word translating as "cure hall". The Kursaal was used as a health centre and entertainment complex by visitors to the seaside town. At the time it contained the Coronation Hall, which was used for roller skating, exhibitions, concerts and events, and the Electric Theatre, the first cinema run for paying audiences in West Sussex.
Following the outbreak of World War I leading residents of the town objected to the German name and after a competition with a prize of £1, the Cinema was renamed "The Dome".
After the end of World War II the Dome went into a steady decline due to heavy competition. In 1949 Seebold restructured his company and remarried. He continued to run the new business, The Rivoli and Dome Ltd, until his death in 1951.[7] By 1955 the Dome was badly out of date and required a refit. The new owners hired architects Goldsmith and Pennells to install a new cinemascope screen. Although the rise of television and sharing the area with four other cinemas must have added financial pressure, the Dome survived to see its sister cinema, The Rivoli, burn down in 1960.
Since the reopening in 2007, The Dome Cinema has continued to run as a successful, fully independent cinema (run entirely separately to the Worthing Borough Council owned Connaught Theatre). The projection ran on two 35mm Cinemeccanica projectors (a Victoria 8 in Screen 1 and a Victoria 5 in Screen 2) until October & November 2012, when both screens were converted to fully digital. Screen 1 now runs on a NEC 2000C, Screen 2 on a NEC 1200C and Screen 3 runs a Barco DP2K-6E. The last 35mm film played in Screen 1 was Looper, and the first digital film was Skyfall. The Victoria 8 Cinemeccanica projector from Screen 1 is now on display in their Projectionist's Bar.
Before adding a third screen in 2018, the Dome was one of the busiest 2 screen cinemas in the country.
The cinema runs a range of different shows for the local area. Currently running are Weekend Morning Movies, Parent & Baby Screenings, Autistic Screenings, Disability Screenings, Midweek Matinees and subtitled screenings. They also run occasional live broadcasts.

Ever since I can remember I have photographed odd bits of detritus like this — old fences, door handles and hinges, electrical boxes, anything that has the worn patina of age, rust, and weathering. The first time I recall doing this I must have been in middle school or early high school — I went around the back side of my parents’ house and found an old wooden fence with a chain lock, made photographs, and then black and white prints.
On the day I made this photograph we were at the location of a very large garden, with the plan being to photograph spring flowers and foliage. We certainly did that, but I’m easily distracted by things like this, and I came back with this photograph along with others of old signs, door knobs, windows, and similar non-garden stuff.

Sometimes we lose context in our critiques and judge these vintage cameras like they are new models on the shelf. It shouldn’t matter now what the comparisons were between them 50 to 100 years ago, or how they may compare to cameras made today. Now they are all beautiful collector items and an important part of history!

...Brey’s “boxes” are only boxes in a single sense. They appear ordinary and familiar from the outside, but at the point of contact, interaction or performance they begin to unfold. The material and situational complexity of works like Sutra, 2010, The Black Cube, 2012, Water 2013, The Uncanny, 2015 and others, reveal themselves to be constellations within a Caribbean universe. Through them, Brey speaks to the infinity of the natural world, the sublime possibilities of one’s dreams and imagination. In part, thee works also act as psychological container of fractured history, blurred and concise memories and through material, form and experience, enter the fifth dimension. ( Fragment from “Adrift”, 2019 )
Actually, this box contains a fairly nice selection of fossils and flints. There are clams from Texas, bits of petrified wood, and two better quality fossils (purchased at rock shops), including a jawbone from the early horse, Epihippus, which once roamed the plains of the American continent.
Here's a sign of changing times. We spent 2 weeks in Scotland, and I can count the number of railway photographs taken on the fingers of 2 hands. Stopping at Blair Atholl on our way to Inverness to drive the "NorthCoast500" route I was surprised to see Blair Atholl signal box still open and operative. For some reason I had thought that the Highland main line had all been re-signalled some years ago. I was wrong.
Blair Atholl box was a Highand Railway design dating from about 1890.
Isn't it beautiful in Summer, to see houses, walls, windows and facades, decorated and cheered up with flowers.
Some people just do not have a garden, what a brilliant solution, for all of us!
Do we even think about that now or is it just another given?
It suddenly dawned on me.
I think there is a trend though, to also have autumn and winter plants and fun.
Oh please, ANYTHING to make our moods brighter, lol.
Thank you, M, (*_*)

Something else, too, came to me from my illness. I might formulate it as an affirmation of things as they are: an unconditional "yes" to that which is, without subjective protests acceptance of the conditions of existence as I see them and understand them, acceptance of my own nature, as I happen to be. At the beginning of the illness I had the feeling that there was something wrong with my attitude, and that I was to some extent responsible for the mishap. But when one follows the path of individuation, when one lives one's own life, one must take mistakes into the bargain; life would not be complete without them. There is no guarantee not for a single moment that we will not fall into error or stumble into deadly peril. We may think there is a sure road. But that would be the road of death. Then nothing happens any longer at any rate, not the right things. Anyone who takes the sure road is as good as dead.

A continuation of my Korean apartment series. The human element adds a tiny bit of life which I was glad to have captured.
Signal box staff stand and watch Stanier 'Royal Scot' 4-6-0 no.46100 'Royal Scot’ with the RYTC Crewe-Whitehaven-Carlisle-Shap-Crewe “Scot Commemorative” tour as she passes though the small village of Foxfield onher way up the Cumbrian coast.
This was a quick shot, as we hadn't expected to catch her. Just saw people waiting at the station, so knew it hadn't gone though. A bonus shot.
