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.
A view looking south on N. Walnut in downtown Champaign. Ahead on the southwest corner of N. Walnut and E. Main St. is the First National Bank Building, a contributing building in the Champaign Downtown Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.
The First National Bank, located at 30 E Main Street, is based on a Greek Revival form and features beautiful Corinthian columns and pilasters. Chicago architects, Mundie and Jensen, constructed the building in 1909. The stone-faced historic bank was one of the first steel-constructed buildings in Champaign.
The exterior of the original building has excellent architectural integrity. Interior changes occurred during the middle of the twentieth century in an attempt to modernize. There is an addition to the west and to the south. Both were constructed in 1966, and are non-contributing to the historic district. The First National Bank Building is now the location of a PNC Bank branch office.
Located in Champaign County in east central Illinois, the twin cities of Champaign and Urbana are the home of the University of Illinois. The population of the City of Champaign at the 2020 census was 88,302, while Champaign County had a population of 205,865.

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!
Captured for Looking close... on Friday! theme: piggy bank.
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.
CS-TOP, an Airbus A330-202, on approach to runway 24R at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario. "PEDRO NUNES" was arriving as TAP9187 (Transportes Aereos Portugueses, S.A., operating as TAP Air Portugal) from Lisbon, Portugal.
This aircraft was reconfigured as a dedicated freighter in December 2020 and now wears "AIR CARGO" titles. This flight's payload was reportedly COVID-19 vaccines.
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.

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.
The old mill at Ebridge North Norfolk, long fallen into disuse, has been refurbished and converted into private dwellings.
A cold and tranquil sunrise.
Knightshayes Court is a Victorian country house near Tiverton, Devon, England. The former stables have been repurposed as a cafe.
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.
This is the Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge located in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Many years ago it was repurposed from a Rail Bridge to a walking bridge. In order to visit a family member, we drove from Digby, N.S. to Fredericton N.B.. We had reserved the 4:30pm Ferry but at 3:pm, we received an email stating the Ferry had been cancelled, and in fact never left Fredericton. Bastards!
We kept our cool and decided to make the 6.5 hour drive. We did however, enjoy the scenery along the way. My compliments to those responsible for designing the highway system in Nova Scotia. Other Provinces could learn from those engineers, and how to move traffic both effectively and quickly.
