Wishing everyone a very happy New Year!
I love this little cute music box. It's a gift from my sister. I love that lovely song. you can listen that song here.
The eastern box turtle is one of six extant subspecies of the common box turtle. It has a high-domed, rounded, hard upper shell, called a carapace. The vivid, orange and yellow markings on its dark brown shell distinguish it from other box turtles, as do the four toes on its hind feet. Its distinct coloring camouflages it among the damp earth, fallen leaves and other debris found on the floor of moderately moist forests.
The underside of its shell, called its plastron, is dark brown and hinged. All box turtles have this bilobed plastron, which allows them to almost completely shut their shell. When threatened, the box turtle pulls its body into its shell and waits for the danger to pass. Its shell is also unique in that it can regenerate. In one reported case, the carapace of a badly burned box turtle completely regenerated.
Box turtles have a hooked upper jaw, and most have a significant overbite. Their feet are slightly webbed. There are many ways to tell a male and female box turtle apart. Males are generally larger and have shorter, thicker tails than females. Males also have short, thick, curved hind claws, while females' hind claws are long, straight and thin.
Eastern box turtles walk energetically with their heads upright and may travel about 50 meters (55 yards) in one day. A homing instinct, an innate ability to navigate to a "home base" despite being in an unfamiliar area, helps this turtle find its way back home.

Teasing is over, here is the real thing. Inside the box, a semi-illuminated street with a strange scene going on.
These photos are'nt so great, but this creation means a lot to me, so please visit this page for more pix, different views and construction details :))
Made for a local convention this last week-end, and more coming up hopefully!
Feel free to tell me what you think, good or bad, or anything in between!
cheers y'all :D
Rings in a jewelry box.
Mostly, if not all, come from my wife's past, she very rarely wears these nowadays. It was tricky to shoot with the different shininess of the different metals and stones. Used a 55mm f2.8 lens, handheld with a diffuse light source. Used Gimp to blend a couple of different exposures to highlight the colours in the blue ring and not be too harsh on the gold ring.

This is the latest group photo of my Box Camera Team. There are two new ones here that haven't been posted individually yet, but I will get to that later. I collect Zeiss Ikon and Voigtlander so have included the one and only Voigtlander Box, that I know of anyway. All of the cameras in this collection are in very good to excellent working and cosmetic condition. For the photo they are arranged from earliest (bottom left) to latest (top right). Made in Germany from 1927 through 1956. Represented here are all of the basic models with several production variations thrown in. There are a few more minor variations out there, so I am always looking!

Taken during what we call the "Chalk Festival" held in the Clifton Neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. Among other things, artists create paintings with chalk on sidewalks and blocked off streets. It is always a fun event.
Here are the three most common cockpit box designs or techniques I use. As can be seen, they yield quite a variety of shapes.
Well, some do.
This is by no means exhaustive, as some designs (like the Vic Vipers) use more brackets, or a combination of Cockpit 2 and brackets.

As I sat waiting for the mountain bluebirds to return to their nesting box my shutter finger got itchy to take some pics... so I decided to play with an HDR shot...

A bench in Box Canyon, which lies inside Turtle Mountain. Box Canyon had a lot of benches, on and off trail. I suspect they offered places for people to watch their friends climb, or to rest after climbing. Or both.

Manchmal sieht man die alltäglichen Dinge in einem ganz anderen Licht: Die hier leere blaue Box wird normalerweise zur Aufbewahrung des Hunde-Spielzeugs genutzt, dieses Spielzeug ist aktuell in der ganzen Wohnung verteilt. Nur der blaue Vollgummi-Ball blieb in der Box zurück. Im morgendlichen Licht leuchtet die leere Box ganz anders als sonst.
Sometimes you see the everyday things in a completely different light: The here empty blue box is usually used to store the dog toys, these toys are currently distributed throughout the apartment. Only the blue solid gum ball remained in the box. In the morning light, the empty box lights up very differently than usual.

A Box Bug nymph on a roadside shrub in South Woodham Ferrers, Essex, with fingers from a steadying hand to give an idea of size! However it does bear viewing large if you want to see the bug in more detail!
Box Bugs (Gonocerus acuteangulatus) are relatively large reddish-brown squashbugs. Historically very rare and known only from Box Hill in Surrey, where they feeds on Box trees, this bug is expanding its range and now occurs widely in the south-east of England and beyond. Box Bugs are herbivorous bugs that exploit different foodplants, having been found on hawthorn, buckthorn, yew and plum trees.
