A very pleasant wander over a chilly Ingleborough. One of those occasions where I smugly trot down the iced up paths in my microspikes. I'm definitely going to fall on my face next time aren't I?
Whenever we go grocery shopping, I find that I look at the packaging our food comes in as a possible photographic subject. One afternoon my husband came home with a large bag of tangerines. I enjoy that fruit, yet the bag holding the orange orbs made me especially happy.

Love the guys hat in this previously unpublished shot from February 2018 - No. 4201 uploaded to my 'Black and White Streets' album. Enjoy!
What do you do with an old copper bowl that has a hole in it? Some people might fix the hole.
Or, you can make the hole bigger and turn it into a small sink.

My wonderful SIL created gift bags this year and mailed them early with requests to “open” them!! They are sewn from quilt squares and the back side is red felt— isn’t she clever? The next picture in the photostream shows some of the things that were in the bag!

Thank you for your comments and favourites.
Good news, my flare-up of severe Long Covid symptoms appears to have ended as suddenly as it started. Yesterday I actually felt 'normal' for the first time in just over two weeks. Just as the previous two occasions this has happened, the duration and severity of symptoms and the sudden onset and end are nearly identical. So bizarre. Hopefully it will be a few months before it happens again, like last time, though obviously I would prefer that it never happens at all.
Of course, the symptoms remain, but the difference in severity is enormous. I have to remember that while I 'feel' like I am back to normal, my normal now is not what it used to be and I have to be careful not to overdo it. I still have to micromanage my rest and recovery for everything that I do.
It's blissful not to feel and hear your own heart thumping irregularly and at just 30 beats per minute over and over again, non-stop, day after day. There must be a trigger to this repeating pattern of symptoms though. I just don't know what it is yet.
Take care everyone.
Built in 1900 by the Chicago & Alton Railroad, the Jacksonville Station is located east of downtown. The station was near the midway point on the C&A's Chicago to Kansas City Route. A sign still hanging over the former station gives the distance to Chicago as being 216 miles, and to Kansas City as 273 miles.
Renovated in 1987, the old railway station has since 2021 been the home of Proud Richard's, an American cuisine restaurant.
Founded in 1825, the City of Jacksonville is the seat of Morgan County. The central Illinois city had a population of 17,616 at the 2020 census.
A fence I used once before. I use it again to christen a new lens, and because the fence pickings ain't so good in our neighborhood. Is anyone running fence tours?
HFF to all: Looking forward to seeing everyone's handiwork.

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.
The old Loggia Rucellai has been adapted with glass walls and is now an exhibition hall and shop for silver works by artists from Florence.
The loggia was built by Giovanni di Paolo Rucellai in the 1460s; it may have been designed by Leon Battista Alberti, but this attribution is disputed. Originally it was intended as a place for the Rucellai family to have weddings and other celebrations.
As individuals we need to stop using plastic that is single use, and manufacturers must stop producing the vast majority of it.
ANSH 123 (6) planet first for earth day
My DD was painting outside and used a plastic mini quiches container as a mixing pallet. It was left outside and various bugs wandered in and got stuck. The orange paint pot was the most popular…..
Anyhow I used my cloning skills in the app Retouch and made it prettier!! Will put the buggy original in the first comment box in a bit
Everyday I remove the card from my camera and dump the photos on my computer, then put the card back into the camera for next day. So far just once did I pull out the camera to get the red flash of no card. The reusable card is also on my faux Autumn leaf that gets used each year for accent on mantel.
Reggia di Venaria Reale.- Galleria Grande
L’armonia e le proporzioni conferite ai nuovi spazi, i sontuosi decori di stucchi, cornici, lesene della Galleria Grande, erano destinati a rendere l’impianto scenico juvarriano un capolavoro dell’architettura di tutto il Settecento.
La Galleria, che collegava l’appartamento del re a quello dell’erede al trono, è uno degli ambienti più sorprendenti e spettacolari dell’intero complesso.
Anche le dimensioni della Galleria sono del tutto ragguardevoli con un’altezza al centro volta di circa 15 metri, una lunghezza di circa 80 metri ed una larghezza di 12 metri.
Durante l’occupazione francese il pavimento originario fu smontato e riutilizzato per la Galleria del Beaumont a Torino.
L’attuale, che riprende quello del disegno juvarriano, è stato realizzato nel 1995.
Royal Palace of Venaria Reale - Galleria Grande
The harmony and proportions given to the new spaces, the sumptuous decorations of the stuccoes, cornices, pilasters of the Galleria Grande, were destined to make the Juvarra scenic system an architectural masterpiece of the entire eighteenth century.
The Gallery, which connected the king's apartment to that of the heir to the throne, is one of the most surprising and spectacular rooms in the entire complex.
The dimensions of the Gallery are also quite considerable with a height at the center of the vault of about 15 meters, a length of about 80 meters and a width of 12 meters.
During the French occupation, the original floor was dismantled and reused for the Beaumont Gallery in Turin.
The current one, which incorporates that of the Juvarra design, was created in 1995.

I am constantly amazed by the clever ways creators can take odd bits & pieces and create a wonderful new piece of art!

It takes nearly one hour of walking to reach this wreckage of a DC-3 at the black beach of Sólheimasandur. However, for a special wedding photo, this effort seems to be acceptable.
Some of you may be wondering why someone would go to all the trouble of creating this Facebook page and network of websites to tell you about water bottles. Here's your answer:
The world is deteriorating, as a result of decisions we have made. Every year, thousands of pounds of trash are deposited in landfills across the United States. However, because of recente advances in technology, more and more of this trash can be diverted away from landfills by simple consumer decisions. The short version: choices you make can save trash from landfills. People are always looking for simple ways they can help, ways they can be part of the movement. It doesn't always have to start with the government. The decisions that we make can add up to have huge impacts. Take water bottles for instance:
It's estimated that the average American drinks 167 bottles of bottled water each year. Simply by using a reUSeable water bottlé, you can help save these 167 bottles from going to the landfill.
So why the funky name? US is capitalized because this movement won't move without the cooperation of US - it's a communal movement. And why is it a water "bottlé"? Well, simply because bottlé is Swiss for "stylish metal container", and what doesn't sound cooler when it's in Swiss?
at the street arts festival in worcester on sunday (9/25/16), some of the vendors/artists had unique sorts of things for sale. this artist, melissa calling her work anxietiart, makes people and animals from "found" items-- reduce reuse recycle
you can see some of her other things here:
I was pleased to find that the Northern Flickers were going to reuse the nest they built last year. They appear to be more comfortable with my presence than last year, so I'm looking forward to getting some more fun photos here.
I'm fairly sure when I took this shot, the eggs were already laid, for after twenty minutes of quiet waiting, this male's head popped out and stayed out until the missus arrived. Then with a quiet chortle of greeting, they quickly swapped spots. The male flew out before the female landed under the nest.
When I checked on the nest yesterday, I was pleased to hear that the chicks had hatched. When a parent returned and entered the nest hole, the tiniest of chicks squeakings could be heard...begging for first dibs on feeding.
This will be my last upload for awhile...again..., as I'm behind on a great many things...including writing an article for a local magazine. More on that to come. So, until next time, enjoy your week/weekend and thank you so much for all your support, faves and comments. They are always appreciated!

Some of the contents of a large plastic box in our kitchen drawer where we put our recyclable items such as plastic bottles, magazines, flyers, food tins and drink cans. When it's full I take it out to the garage & tip everything in a big wheelie bin. This gets collected by a private company fortnightly, the other week they take our actual rubbish (trash) away, thankfully we don't produce much of that so often that wheelie bin only goes out once a month. Glass has to be taken to a bottle bank. I use to take gardening & bird watching magazines to our GP surgery for others to read but those days are gone.
We compost all our newspapers, cardboard packaging/toilet rolls etc & I reuse suitable plastic food trays to stand plant pots in. All available windowsills currently have trays with small pots containing tomato/chilli/pepper/courgette & sweetcorn seedlings, waiting for the current cold snap to pass so I can plant them out in the polytunnel.
For Macro Mondays theme "Trash" HMM!
