In mid-July, my husband's veggie garden is still in pretty good shape. Later on, the weeds will get the upper hand [and I will be laboring in gardens of my own]. Squash and potatoes have their own garden, since they take up so much space.
The tin numbers on this utility pole face South, and caught some of the beginning of the setting Sun to the left. The numbers appear to be relatively new, as rust and weathering on the nails have not really set in yet.

#mood for Winter:
I'm driving home for Christmas
Oh, I can't wait to see those faces
I'm driving home for Christmas, yea
Well I'm moving down that line
And it's been so long
But I will be there
I sing this song
To pass the time away
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas
It's gonna take some time
But I'll get there
Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights on the run
But soon there'll be a freeway yeah
Get my feet on holy ground
So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get through
And feel you near me
Driving in my car
I'm driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories
I take a look at the driver next to me
He's just the same
Just the same
Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights all around, uh
I'm driving home for Christmas, yeah
Get my feet on holy ground
So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get through
Oh and feel you near me
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories
I take a look at the driver next to me
He's just the same
He's driving home, driving home

This is a copy of an original bust by French sculptor Jean Antoine Houdon in 1785. The original was created in George Washington’s home.
The colored rectangles on our national hero, our Republic's Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, our number one founding father, are my two cents of comment.
Stary Cmentarz w Łodzi - the Old Cemetery in Łódź
With the growing number of textile plants in Lodz in the 19th century, accompanied by rapid growth of the city and the number of its inhabitants, the city authorities were forced to open a new cemetery in 1856. The old Christian necropolis around the wooden St. Joseph church between Ogrodowa, Zachodnia, Legionów and Gdańska Streets could no longer accommodate new graves. The site of the new cemetery was a large plot of land in the outskirts of the city, adjacent to the opposite side of Ogrodowa Street and extending to the West towards the Mania settlement. It consisted of three parts, each for a different Christian denomination: Catholic, Evangelical-Augsburg and Orthodox. The latter separated the east Catholic part from the west Evangelical section of the cemetery. Currently, the necropolis is one of the most frequented places in Lodz, not only for sentimental reasons but also due to its historical and artistic value. The Old Cemetery in Lodz, as it is popularly called by the inhabitants of the "City by the Boat" (Lodz is the Polish word for boat), often compared to the Powązki Cemetery in Warsaw, is a real treasure of sepulchral monuments.
Among hundreds of tombs and gravestones, particularly beautiful are those from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and from the first two decades of the 20th century, such as the excellently renovated grave of Zofia Biedermann or the tomb of the Grobman family or of Henryk Feder. Among other precious tombs, of particular interest are the tomb chapels of Juliusz Heinzl and Juliusz Kuntzer and the pyramide-shaped tomb of the Heiman-Jarecki family, heroes of the Polish-Soviet war, or the Neo-Byzantine chapel of the Gojrzewski family in the Orthodox part of the cemetery. A true masterpiece and the most popular monument of the Old Cemetery is the Karl Scheibler's Neo-Gothic chapel-mausoleum considered to be the most beautiful product of the Polish Neo-Gothic. It has been gradually renovated for a number of years now, mainly using funds raised by the Foundation for Rescuing Karl Scheibler's Chapel. On 1st November each year, the Old Cemetery Preservation Society raises funds for renovating the monuments of the necropolis.

Bombus (Bombo - Bumblebee)
I bombi sono caratterizzati da una livrea gialla e nera a bande, anche se ne esistono delle specie tutte nere o con delle bande arancioni, sono generalmente più grossi e pelosi delle comuni api ed hanno, generalmente, le bande di colore più larghe.
La principale caratteristica di questi imenotteri è senz'altro la soffice peluria che li ricopre e che li fa apparire piuttosto pelosi.
I bombi sono poco aggressivi; le regine e le operaie sono in grado però di pungere ed il loro pungiglione, non avendo seghettatura, permette loro di pungere anche più di una volta a differenza delle api comuni.
I bombi sono insetti sociali che vivono in piccole colonie, formate da pochi esemplari, che non sopravvivono generalmente all'inverno. Gli unici esemplari che sopravvivono all'inverno sono le femmine fecondate che dopo la morte della colonia, cercheranno un luogo riparato dove trascorrere i rigori della stagione invernale. In primavera la femmina fecondata si sveglierà dal letargo e cercherà subito dei fiori per rifocillarsi e cominciare a creare la nuova colonia. In genere si tratta di piccole cavità nel terreno o negli alberi come tane abbandonate, tronchi di alberi cavi, fessure tra muri di pietra, ecc… La femmina provvederà a costruire una piccola cella di cera dalla caratteristica forma ad anfora nella quale depositerà alcune uova e che riempirà di cibo. Queste prime uova danno origine a femmine sterili che si occuperanno, come operaie, della raccolta di cibo per la colonia e di aiutare la madre nella costruzione di nuove celle. A partire dalla metà dell'estate compaiono le prime femmine in grado di riprodursi, queste deporranno uova non fecondate che danno origine ai maschi. I maschi feconderanno le nuove femmine nate alla fine dell'estate e che andranno a sviluppare la nuova colonia l'anno successivo.
Questa sarà una femmina appena risvegliata dal letargo?

In remembrance of the fallen, wounded and those who served for their countries. Unable to get out today to pay my respects I captured this tightly framed shot on Armed Forces Day in the summer, the side of a Willys Jeep that saw action for the 101st Airborne 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment on D-Day in Normandy. Photographed in George Square, Glasgow and making a poignant composition of the medical aid cross. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
Captured this while sitting in Sedona drinking a coffee while Mrs. K was shopping. The flowers in the pretty planter caught my eye.
In July I took a portrait of Shaak Ti against the cloudy Belgian sky. I really liked the result but unfortunately her headpiece was not set right on the photo. In Hamburg I decided to try retaking that photo by using a shoot-through reflector to fake the cloudy sky. Even though the original photo was framed very simply, I struggled trying to get the same photo without being able to look at the original on location.
Also when I compare the original photo with the new one, I realize how I didn’t take care enough of my Shaak Ti minifig. When I bought her three months ago from Bricklink, she was in an almost perfect condition. Now her cape is all worn out and her lekku prints have faded away. While I like the cape’s worn out effect, I decided to order a new head piece from Bricklink. Hopefully this time I’ll try to better take care of it, and at some point retry to take the photo with the right composition and a Shaak Ti in good condition.
Picturesque Holašovice (German: Holaschowitz) is a small historic village located in the south of the Czech Republic, 15 km west of České Budějovice and 18 km north of Český Krumlov.
Holašovice has a large number of outstanding 18th- and 19th-century vernacular buildings in a style known as 'South Bohemian folk or rural Baroque', a mixture of Baroque, Rococo and Classicistic building styles. Holašovice preserves a ground plan dating from the Middle Ages. Holašovice is a typical Bohemian village. It consists of 23 brick farmyards, each with their gable end facing a central broad village green, with a fish pond and chapel (built in 1755).
After the displacement of German residents at the end of the Second World War, many farms in the village were deserted and fell into disrepair. Holašovice became a desolate and abandoned place under the Czech post-war Communist regime. It was restored and repopulated from 1990, and it was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998. It now has a population of around 140.
Het schilderachtige Holašovice (Duits: Hollschowitz) is een klein historisch dorp in het Tsjechische Zuid-Bohemen.
Het dorp telt slechts 140 inwoners, en ligt 15 km ten westen van České Budějovice en 18 km noordelijk van Český Krumlov.
De eerste vermelding van Holašovice is uit het jaar 1263. Tussen 1520 en 1525 werd Holašovice getroffen door de pest, waarbij slechts 2 inwoners overleefden. In 1945 werd de Duitstalige bevolking uit Holašovice verdreven en verviel het dorp. In 1990 werd een begin gemaakt met het herstel van het oude dorp en sinds 1998 staat het dorp op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO.
Het is indrukwekkend dat ondanks latere aanpassingen het middeleeuwse systeem van rangschikken van de woon- en landbouwgebouwen bewaard is gebleven. Daarbij worden de huizen en boerderijen met elkaar doorverbonden door middel van poortjes en gewelfde inritten.
Het uiterlijk van het dorp is het resultaat van het werk van de metselaars die de voorgevels en inritten van de Holašovice huizen in de tweede helft van de 19e eeuw verbouwd hebben in de zogenoemde boeren- of plattelandse barokstijl, een mengeling van eenvoudige barokke, rococo en klassieke bouwstijlen.
De 23 huizen zijn gelegen rond een groot dorpsplein (gazon, visvijver en klein kerkje).
