Way off theme for this week and probably a sign of desperation... Taken late tonight so focus and DOF are really not good at all. At least there is something here that I can learn from considering the conditions the photo was shot in.
It will have to do for today. Better to have a photo for the day than miss it entirely in my opinion.
Too long of a day today dealing with issues with the house (fix-it issues that is). This wasn't the issue of the day. This stemmed from this past weekend when the pool pump motor decided that it had lived its last day. In the process of replacement (which has yet to be completed) and wiring, the outdour electric box recepticle lid broke along with a screw breaking off that held the cover on. Needless to say, the entire box and contents were replaced.
Maybe I should have taken a picture when I was disassembling everything because that old stuff may have met the 80's theme this week.... :)
Looking south down the future busway from Box District Station (which is behind me).
The cones represent the new end of the parking lot, as some will become apart of the busway.
I cannot help myself. Here’s a story about records, books, postage, recycling and reuse.
This box started out life containing 16 copies of Patrick O’Farrell’s paperback book with ISBN 0-86840-635-X, sent from the University of New South Wales Press (printed on the box). It must have been sent to Readings bookshop in Carlton, who reused it to send something to Dr Phillip Law (1912-2010) at his home in Canterbury (address label on the bottom of the box, unfortunately Post Paid Australia with no postmark). Dr Law used it to store excess publications about Antarctica (inscribed on the box in his own hand). On the death of Dr Law in 2010, the box ended up with us, the eScholarship Research Centre, who have been working with Dr Law on his papers since the mid 1980s. We have the final material from Dr Law now processed and boxed in special National Library of Australia boxes, ready for transfer to their custody.
Looking up the book in the National Library of Australia’s Trove catalogue and checking the ISBNs of the different editions reveals that this box originally held the third edition of The Irish in Australia, published in 2000.
I needed a box to send 18 copies of a book we have just published (November 2011), Founders, Firsts and Feminists: Women Leaders in Twentieth-century Australia, to a conference being held in Canberra next week. This box did the job nicely!
A view of the ring inside the box when Chris first brought it home. This gives a great view of the setting.
Fresh peaches, all boxed up to take home.
Oh my, the temptation.
I was amused to note that one peach in the central box is a good bit bigger than its mates.
A boxy zip toiletry bag that I made for my husband - fully lined with no raw edges, all the seams are enclosed. Inspired by tutorials on the web, but mostly I improvised the design.

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.

Extra goodies =D. String, eye lashes, free fur wig, certificate, instruction booklet and 5 pairs of eyes.
Tirei muitas fotos do box moment dela porque simplesmente estou completamente in love com essa pullip <3 e porque é difícil achar fotos dela por aí ;-; eu nunca acho...
Bom, primeiras impressões:
- wig excelente! Super lisinha, brilhante, de uma qualidade ótima, tipo as da Clara e da Chloi =D faltou pouco para ser como a da Hermine XD Só os cachos vieram meio bagunçados e foi preciso dar uma moldada neles com um pouco de creme e gel, mas fora isso, ótimos!
- outfit perfeito, SUPER detalhado!! *0* E ela é uma doll sem acessórios, veio tudo nela! XD E os sapatinhos ao lado. A cora estava um pouco descosturando da fita, por ser de metal, pesada. Mas colei ela e agora não está caindo! o/
- make dela é adorável! Delicada e fofa e acho que fica com um ar de menina moe, super fofa mesmo! <3 Os lábios parecem formar um 3 invertido e a sombra dos olhos dá um ar ligeiramente caído, todo meigo! *-*
Decided to take on a few new subjects late in the evening. A box of Christmas ornaments, and a fallen worklight. Suprisingly good subjects, however, they talked too much for me.
Now in my day toys from cereal boxes were worth getting excited about. They were class. Add baking soda and they'd move, explode and i vaguely recall one of the divers i had from some shreddies discovering atlantis. Or maybe it was the plug. Either way. Anyway, compare those precision made plastic masterpieces to the above lump of crap. A lion stood on a door. It can stand on the door, or off the door. Awesome. Better still it has a gammy paw. Now i've watched nature programs, no lion with a gammy paw gets to sit at the top of the tree, let alone star in a hollywood movie. My diver may have had no hands, or recogniseable features to speak of but he found atlantis and i'm willing to bet no crippled lion manages that anytime soon.
I have many favorite places n Second Life. Some are brilliantly creative and others are simple, elegant and immersive.
Art Box is a favorite. This is a gallery of internationally famous art by well-known artists in our world history. These are the artworks that we most recognize.
Here, you can become part of the art. You can attach props and be a character in the work itself. This is a place that will put a smile on your face.
Art Box is set up so that you can snap great pictures of yourself while you are in the art... in the piece itself. So have fun!
If you go, try to spend at least 2 hours here. There is a lot of see and a lot to try out. And, bring friends. It's a wonderful place to share with those who love art.
Glasgow police box, High St. and Cathedral Square being altered from its original and correct red to London police box blue. All to make it look like a 'Tardis' and provide a photo opportunity for Dr. Who fans. What price heritage and accuracy compared to a cheap theatrical prop?!
