This is a close up of a plant I admired earlier this year. I visited a garden that was part of the National Garden Scheme. In that garden, ‘Golden Oats’ was stunning, a huge fountain of gold. I ordered the plant for a container I’d saved that needed something spectacular. The plant that arrived is small and green. I’ve planted it in the container, hopefully it’ll grow up into that golden fountain next year. Meanwhile, here’s a photograph of the one I saw, cropped and processed with Hipstamatic.
Oats for Orozco.

Sunrise along the Southern Outer Banks.
Once again, we find ourselves inthe crosshairs of yet another Hurricane forecast to make a hit on us overnight Monday into Tuesday morning of next week. We're busy tying everything down and laying in fuel for the generators and other supplies so my time on flickr will be severely limited. Hope to see you in once piece on the other side.
I spent a majority of the holiday season in the kitchen. The family had a craving for Great Grandma's Oat Meal Cookies, which calls for 3 cups of oats, cup of raisins soaked in a cup of boiling water and general cookie ingredients.
I hope everyone is doing well and have a most excellent New Year. Take Care. B
... on a windy day
Happy Bokeh Wednesday

Luddenden
This extensive mill complex is in an open setting on the hillside above Luddenden village. It was founded by John Murgatroyd & Son in 1847, it was named after the family house which had been built in 1645. It operated as a worsted spinning and manufacturing works. It was one of the largest concerns in the upper Calder valley. A road divides the site in half, the earliest building being on the right of the photograph. It was steam powered from the beginning, comprising of a three storey mill, an engine house and a tall chimney. An additional four storey mill was added around 1855. The mill expanded on to the opposite side of the road, on the left of picture, in 1863, and again during 1886 and 1887 under the supervision of the architect T. Lister Padgett of Halifax. The large single storey sheds with the saw tooth roofs were added to house combing and weaving machinery, whilst the multi storey buildings were used for preparation and spinning. At its peak it employed around 2000 people.
The mill was severely damaged by fire in February 1989, the building on the left was totally gutted. It has been sympathetically replaced by an apartment block, the whole mill complex is now residential or holiday rental accommodation. Prices range to purchase an apartment from around £190,000 to over £300,000 depending on the size.
