This charming cottage is made of slabs of native limestone, and affectionately called a “giraffe house”, or a house made of “giraffe stone”. I have several other houses and other buildings made of this stone in my photostream because frankly, I am fascinated by them! I’ve seen them all my life, but only when we made trips to the Ozarks. Now that I live here, I can see them every day and take even more photos of them. Lucky for me, maybe not always for the viewer who might not be as fascinated as I still am! designobserver.com/feature/giraffe-houses-of-the-ozarks/3... Great article!

This is a typical fishermen dwelling (called rorbuen) in Lofoten. This one is located in the neighbourhood of Reine, but the model of houses remains similar on the whole Lofoten archipelago.

Old farm in Glaumbær in northern Iceland.
Because of the scarcity of wood on the island, turf was used to build houses in Iceland. This old farm from the late 18th century is built in burstabær style, with its wooden ends or gaflar.
I haven't seen a lot of house sparrows around since working from home - there is a spot in downtown Portland where I could count on finding them, but I don't get down there anymore. Nice to see one at Commonwealth.
(Passer domesticus) I am now back from my vacation and still sorting out my images. Here are a couple of sparrows to be getting on with!
One of my favourite homes in Ladner. I'm fascinated by the three stacked floors, reminds me of a cake. The landscaping is impeccable, always. This is the first time I've seen it with snow, but I just realized that there were no Christmas lights despite the time of year, interesting, as this house would be enhanced by tasteful lighting, must drive by it one night, maybe they have those spotlight thingys that make trees look so dramatic.
The song of the wren is so distinctive and they are very vocal! At least in our yard.

A photograph capures a moment in time allowing you to study that moment later and sometimes it throws up unexpected surprises
Did I notice the mirror-like reflection of a house in the Squirrels eye when I took the shot?
Of course not... But it was a nice surprise when I noticed later
House sparrow.

Hursley House is an 18th-century Queen Anne style mansion in Hursley, near Winchester in the English county of Hampshire. The building is Grade II* listed.
Chatsworth House is a lovely historic house set in the heart of the Peak District in Derbyshire. Set on the banks of the River Derwent, this is the home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire and has been the home of the Cavendish family since the 1550s.
This was our starting point today for our walk, along the river, past the house, up to the top of the woods passing the Hunting Tower ( just visible at the top of the woods) and then past the lakes and a long trek downhill back to the river and carpark... just before the heavy rain set in! A lovely walk of 4.5 miles.
A hailstorm set in as we left the carpark but within 5 minutes the sun was shining again :)
