Nestled on the edge of a small town in rural North Nottinghamshire, Tuxford Windmill is one of the finest examples of a traditional working windmill. It's a Grade II Listed Building. The mill was erected in 1810 an remained in operation until the 1920s when it was damaged in a storm. The 38ft tower corn windmill was built before 1840 and out of use by 1906. At just over 200 years old, the windmill is the only privately owned commercial windmill to fund it’s on going restoration in Nottinghamshire and the rest of the UK, which mills grain using traditional stones, using wind-power only. The grains it uses for milling are mostly grown by the Turner family who farm in South Lincolnshire and are members of the British Soil Association. The rest of the milling grains are British grown and are sourced through a grain merchant. You can taste delicious goodies all made from the Mill's flour, at its Tearoom.
It's a 4-storey black tower mill with an ogee cap and four sails. Received an *SPAB Mill Section plaque for the restoration in 1995. The mill is built of red brick, tarred to create a weatherproof black exterior. There are two window openings at ground floor level and two doorways with 20th-century doors. The tower supports a white-painted cap and four sails with a fantail.
*The Mills Section of the SPAB is the UK's national organisation devoted to protecting and promoting traditional windmills and watermills.

I've been meaning to photograph some petit fours, and found the opportunity before dessert today. The one on the left is raspberry flavored, and the other is lemon. They're seen in a 45-frame focus stack, blended with Helicon Focus.

Hippeastrum these plants are popularly but erroneously known as Amaryllis and are cultivars of bulbous plants in the family Amaryllidacea.
The botanical name Amaryllis is taken from a shepherdess in Virgil's pastoral "Eclogues"(An eclogue is a poem in a classical style on a pastoral subject.
Poems in the genre are sometimes also called bucolics. Virgilius wrote the Bucolica, consisting of 10 Eclogues).
As a flower symbol it has come to mean "Dramatic", which seems most fitting here!
Hippeastrum is a popular bulb flower for indoor growing, it is Greek for "horseman's star" (also known today as "knight's star").
Another Macro+++.
I love the curves and lines in this.

When my mom visited, we shared a cinnamon roll at Mother's Bistro. It's a good way to start a morning.

" Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.

It was named after a beautiful shepherdess in Greek mythology. Amaryllis means ‘sparkling.’ Amaryllis belladonna has many common names.
In South Africa it is known as the March lily,
To me it feels like I am back at Christmas:-)
The first 3 zucchini from my garden this summer, regardless of the humidity and heat punishing the garden and threatening each and every plant. They made delicious zucchini bread and pasta topping.

I took this photo during my morning walk.
The text on the lantern reads, "You like it, don't you? Kaku Highball."
Whenever I see one swaying in the breeze, it really seems to beckon me in. Haha.
Looking at this lantern reminds me of a bitter (literally!) memory involving a bottle of Kaku whisky.
When I was a kid, I used to watch my father drinking it with such delight that I became convinced it must be sweet and delicious.
So, one night, I decided to sneak a taste.
Not knowing anything about how strong alcohol was, I poured a whole glassful—just like it was tea.
I gulped it down like tea, too. It was so strong that I wanted to spit it out immediately, but since I was doing this in secret, I was terrified of getting caught. To destroy the evidence, I forced myself to swallow the whole thing.
Afterward, for some strange reason, I couldn’t stop laughing. Then, finding the fact that I was laughing uncontrollably even funnier, I laughed even harder.
It happened so long ago that I hope the statute of limitations has run out by now!
Needless to say, I never did anything like that again.
Peanut butter chocolate pudding. Made from Culinary in the Desert's recipe. It was so freakin' good! I dressed it up a smidge with chopped nuts and shaved chocolate and whipped cream just for fun.
