Wanted to do some 'Out of the box' experiment.

Ended up with this :-)

...when in need, just open :)

I have never seen a box like this. Have you? Amazing what beauty products use as packaging... trying to catch the customer's eye...

This is a money box I used to have at the bottom of my fish tank.

A shiny sliver colored boxfor keeping things in. For 117 pictures in 2017, #1, something you open.

Of mountains, molehills and reflections.

Early morning sun on the rocks at Box Beach, looking toward the distinctive Mount Tomaree.

This is Box Canyon Falls, in Ouray, Colorado. It's a very difficult waterfall to shoot. It's at the bottom of a very deep, dark canyon and there are a bunch of guardrails and railings and other crap that is totally in the way. I had to awkwardly set up the tripod all crooked, so the camera was kind of hanging out over the railing to get this unobstructed shot.

This deposit box has been unused for many years. It is located at the former Farmers and Merchants Bank on Main Street in downtown Benton Harbor.

For the "Looking close... on Friday!" group theme of "old boxes".

No idea about the age of this little rather rusty tin box.

Its a nearly 3.5cm sized cube, so its pretty small.

The lid pulls off but if there were any contents they are long gone.

I think the box was an advertising item produced for the biscuit makers 'Huntley & Palmers' in Reading England The four sides and the top list a different type of biscuit, so I can't imagine that it ever contained any of them.

The box was given to me several years ago as a Birthday present and is treasured as such.

Jane helped me move around some boxes today. Boxes she could get into and play around.

Very important business for a cat.

Soligor 135mm f/3.5 converted to M42 mount prime, wide open.

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.

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.

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.

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 box has for some years been one of Jeffreys favourite boxes. Really cool stuff :-)

Posted for the Happy Caturday group theme "Brands".

Some in the group will have seen him in this box before.

I work this weekend, so will not have time to comment in the group. Wishing you all a Happy Caturday and nice weekend.

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.

Do not open the box! Every war is the senseless destruction of lives

in the interests of the arms industry and a few deranged fanatics!

These cases take their name from the virgin Roman goddess of fire, home, hearth and family. Usually Vesta was depicted as the fire in her temple. Only Vestals (her priestesses) were allowed into her temple. Her association with fire made her name the natural choice for British companies who manufactured matches.
