The petals fell from my birthday flowers and are now looking more like potpourri....the beautiful glass bowl, another long ago gift, was handcrafted by a Santa Ynez artist, according to the tag.
The Devil does Halloween. Or tries. He figured being "a smidgen too red" would fly this merry season, and he could just blend in with the myriad of devils, smurfs, and other people rocking body paint. Just one problem - gotta hide the all-too-real horns.

This view shows the north side of the 300 block of E. State St. looking east (right) from N. East Street (cross street). On the northeast corner of the intersection is the American Bankers Building, once the home of a large insurance company that occupied 32,000 sq. ft. on the first and second floors.
Constructed in 1920 in the Neoclassical style, the American Bankers Building is a contributing property in the Jacksonville Downtown Historic District listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It is now occupied by Hamilton's Catering Service where the second floor has been converted into a 16,000 square foot meeting and banquet facility. The Jacksonville Convention & Visitors Bureau office is on the first floor, along with a bridal shop and professional offices. The other buildings in the 300 block of E. State St. will be looked at more closely in an upcoming post.
Located in West Central Illinois, thirty-five miles west of the State Capitol in Springfield, Jacksonville is the seat of Morgan County. The population of the city at the 2020 census was 18,267.
Gartelmann Liqueur Muscat bottle now holds bird feathers I've found ... seems appropriate with the Magpie picture.

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Repurposed. This was an old Orbit gas station from the space age days, now it's Suzie Burger! Maybe some of their Disco Tots for breakfast would be good. I wonder if fried Cheese Whiz is on the secret menu.
HMMM!

HLCoF everyone!
Previously the jar contained my homemade jam. The label is homemade, too. It is my photo of the view from our house at Rocky Butte. Mt Hood is obscured by the coin.
A long time ago someone must have needed an instant corral so they lashed a bunch of utility gates together. This makeshift corral at Quiet Valley Ranch looks like it has been there a long time. HFF
Once a workmen's hut for Dubs Quarry at the top of the Honister Pass, the Dubs Hut was renovated in 2016-17 by the Mountain Bothies Association (MBA). www.mountainbothies.org.uk/
The purpose of the MBA is "To maintain simple shelters in remote country for the use of all who love wild and lonely places." And this is most definitely one such place.
The deep cleft beyond the hut is the path down to Gatesgarth and the southern end of Buttermere Lake.
This is the remains of a tree that was felled in my local park, as a result of disease. These sections were left where they were felled and have become a feature, where families gather in the Summer and children climb. There is so much character in this solid timber that must be many years old.
Repurposing your children's toys is a is a nice way to keep their memories close, and spiff up the old property a bit.
Happy Slider's Sunday.

Hiding away from the eyes of the general public, this neat little critter spends her retirement days shuffling cars around within the confines of Charter Steel in Saukville, Wisconsin in a mostly intact coat of WC maroon and gold paint with it’s WC road number. The CN owns the Mill-Saukville portion of this line specifically to serve Charter Steel with a local based in Germantown, while the WSOR owns everything north up to Kiel and west to Ackerville with a local based in Granville. A quick picture search indicates that the retrofitted safety railings along the top of the hood were installed within the last couple of years. They’re not pretty, but at least the paint matches.
Our coal-powered electrical generating plant will soon be replaced by one that is solar powered. Here's my tongue-in-cheek suggestion for how the old plant could be used.
The original photo was taken with my iPhone 11 during a bike ride. Photofox Surreal Skies was used to create this image.

A cold and tranquil sunrise.

Beacon, NY -- Here's a creative use of the driftwood along the river banks. I was here today during high tide, and water and tiny pieces of driftwood were flowing under this arch constructed by locals.
