My trip to NH wound up in Harrisville, which is lovely under almost any circumstances. On this day, though, the skies were clear, the colors bright, and the reflections brilliant. I couldn't resist taking this shot for my daughter, Jessamyn, a librarian and lover of libraries.

Not pictured: the pink limo, which was emblazoned with the legend "Chick Truck", an illustration of a Lara Croft-inspired character... and the Playboy bunny logo. Did somebody not get it?

'Reflecting Over'

We're past Macro Mondays, I know, but I'm still with my hunk of slag. These three images show what I noticed today. Backlit by the window, the light coming through it was reflected in the plastic it sat on. And the hunk and its reflection lent itself to even more radical transformation and abstraction. What fun!

Milford, New Hampshire

The Hillsborough Mills is locally significant under Criterion A, Industry, for its associations with manufacturing in Milford, New Hampshire. From the mid 19th to the mid 20th century, the industries housed in this complex served as important local employers for workers in both Milford and nearby Wilton. Constructed in 1866, just after the end of the Civil War, the mill was initially organized by local investors for the manufacture of woolen carpets. When the carpet mill failed, the property was reorganized and purchased in 1874 by new investors from the manufacturing centers of Nashua and Lowell and produced carpet yams, bed blankets and horse blankets. Although the mill was expanded and flourished for a number of years, it closed in 1901, unable to compete with larger companies. The Hillsborough Mills were sold that year to a group of out-of-town woolen manufacturers including William G. Abbott of Philadelphia. The Hillsborough Mills flourished under the management of Abbott and his two sons, William Jr. and Edward James Abbott, accomplished scientists and inventors. The company became known for its worsted weaving yams and the success of the Hillsborough Mills led to the development of two other industries- Abbott Worsted Mill and Abbott Mill in nearby Wilton. At its peak 300 workers were employed at the Hillsborough Mills with another 200+ at the other two factories. Although the Hillsborough Mills closed about 1970, Abbott family members retained ownership until 1979 and continued to feature prominently in local affairs into the late 20th century. Despite the loss of a wooden dye house, the filling of the canal and incremental changes to the buildings, the complex retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association. The mill's period of significance is 1866-1963. The first date corresponds to the mill's original date of construction; the latter reflects the 50 year cut off of the National Register.

From my wander around the neighborhood this weekend. I stumbled across a frame and mirror shop, with this wonderful winter sun reflected around by all the mirrors.

Gladney Rose Garden terrace
Missouri Botanical Garden
St Louis, Missouri, USA
In 2006, the Garden presented “Glass in the Garden” an exhibition of blown glass sculptures by renowned artist Dale Chihuly. The spectacular 928-piece Missouri Botanical Garden Blue Chandelier, 2006 is permanently suspended in the Ridgway Visitor Center atrium. Chihuly’s Walla Wallas were purchased for the Garden, where the onion-shaped glass floats in the central axis reflecting pool during warm weather months. Several graceful, amber-coloured Sunset Herons were also purchased and are displayed inside the Climatron.
