Another unused shot from the archives!
Antony House, near Torpoint in south-east Cornwall, was constructed for Sir William Carew between 1711 and 1721 and is believed to be one of the finest surviving Queen Anne buildings in the West Country. The house features some exceptional furnishings. There is a splendid collection of portraits including examples of works by Reynolds and a painting of Charles I at his trial. There are 25 acres of landscaped gardens adjacent to the house, and some 50 acres of natural woodland. The house and gardens were donated to the National Trust in 1961, although the house is still the home of the Carew Pole family.
The House Finch was originally a bird of the southwestern United States and Mexico. In 1940 a small number of finches were turned loose on Long Island, New York, and they quickly started breeding. They spread across the entire eastern United States and southern Canada within the next 50 years.

Prairie Home

Here is a very cool house near Columbia that I want to return to again. This is processed different than usual.
Fambro-Arthur house. Judge Fambro built the house in 1840. D. EzeKiel Arthur was born into slavery. After Emancipation, he traveled different states to find his mother and sisters who had been “sold away”. They returned to Cahawba, and he purchased this house in 1894. The Arthur family lived in the house for 100 years.

Colorful houses in the town Icod de Los Vinos on Tenerife :)
Smile on Saturday - theme: "Vivid orange" :)
Icod de los Vinos is a municipality in the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife on the island of Tenerife, in the Canary Islands (Spain). It is located on a continuous smooth slope that stretches from the extensive forests of Canary Island Pine down to the sea, and has almost 10 km of shoreline. The city is surrounded by fertile valley, and its streets and corners offer views of the volcanic mountain Teide, as well as dense pine forests which descend from its summit to Icod's higher-altitude districts. Its banana plantations, orchards and vineyards give rise to a lively commerce. In Icod, close to the Church of San Marcos, stands a famous dragon tree, which is reputed to be a thousand years old. While no study seems to have confirmed such longevity for the tree (dracos do not produce annual rings with which to tell their ages; the tree is more likely to have an age in the hundreds of years), it is the long-time symbol of Icod.

Kolorowe domy na jednej z uliczek w Icod de Los Vinos na Teneryfie :)
Icod de los Vinos – gmina i miasto w prowincji Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Miasto położone jest na łagodnym stoku z lasami piniowymi, który ciągnie się aż do morza i tworzy prawie 10 km linię brzegową. Icod de los Vinos otoczone jest żyzną doliną, w której istotną gałęzią gospodarki jest uprawa bananowców, sadownictwo i uprawa winorośli. Icod de los Vinos zostało założone w 1501 roku. Dawniej tereny te zamieszkane były przez rodowitych mieszkańców Wysp Kanaryjskich, zwanych Guanczami. W Icod de los Vinos w otoczeniu winnic znajduje się znak rozpoznawczy Teneryfy, botaniczny pomnik przyrody, słynna dracena - Drago Milenario.
An abandoned residential care home - I was in the area so hopped over the fence to see how this old property had matured since my last visit.
The only changes were a few more collapsed walls.
Mt. Sterling, Ohio. As we were approaching Mt. Sterling, Ohio, we saw an old falling down barn and this farm house, so we stopped for a few shots. There were a few things left inside that made me think that it had been lived in not all that long ago. I was struck by the design of the house and the appearance that several additions had been made over the years. The roof on the part in the very back is particularly interesting. The windows in the front part went all the way down to the floor. The porch roof is supported by somewhat ornate posts. Actually, it looks like it could be saved, but probably won't be. There was a "sold" sign out front.
Sometimes the cool photo op stares us in the face forever before we finally take the time to really see what we're looking at. i drive past this house nearly every day, and was amazed to recently discover how interesting the patterns, colors and textures in this scene actually are.

This old house is located along Highway A outside of the Marinette County village of Crivitz, Wisconson.
