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.
A view of the south side of the square (100 block of W. 3rd St.) as seen looking west from State St. Until 1872, Beardstown was the seat of Cass County, and the corner building is the old county courthouse - now city offices and a museum - where Abraham Lincoln once practiced. Known as the "Almanac Trial" courthouse, this is where Lincoln, 2-1/2 years before being elected 16th President of the United States, saved an innocent man from the gallows by using an almanac to expose the perjury of a villainous witness. Today it is the only courtroom still in use where Abraham Lincoln once practiced law.
To the west of the courthouse is the old Carnegie Library, repurposed in the year 2000 as the Beardstown City Hall. The library was built in 1903-04 with a $10,000 grant from the Carnegie Corporation. Some 105 Carnegie public libraries were built in Illinois, trailing only Indiana and California. A senior center, old commercial building with a remodeled facade, and a church (blocked by the three-story building next to it) round out the block.
Located in West Central Illinois, Beardstown had a population of 5,951 at the 2020 census making it the largest city in Cass County.

Love the guys hat in this previously unpublished shot from February 2018 - No. 4201 uploaded to my 'Black and White Streets' album.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.
The Church of St. Andrew in the village of Ingleby Greenhow is a Norman church that was restored in 1741 and again in 1906 but it still contains a great many original features.
The oldest parts of the church date back to the 12th century, but much of the structure was rebuilt in 1741. The chancel arch, nave arcade and part of the west tower are 12th century and the north and south walls of the chancel date back to the 13th century. The building contains many Norman and later medieval features, some still in their original position and others that were reused
The church yard is a triangle, with one side formed by the beck and the other two by Marsh Lane and Church Lane. This makes it very difficult to get a good position to capture the whole church
The village is on the border of the North York Moors and 3 miles south of Great Ayton. The village name may derive from the Saxon for Englishman's green hill
A view of what is now the Artisans building on the Illinois State Fair grounds in Springfield. Originally known as the Poultry Palace, this handsome structure is the second oldest building on the Illinois State Fairgrounds.
The Poultry Palace was built following a disastrous storm in 1895 that killed many of the State Fair's feathered entries which, up to that time, had been housed in sheds. After the calamity, State Fair Poultry Superintendent, and future Governor Len Small, was quoted as saying: “the loss of valuable fowls was considerable, and the necessity of a suitable building, obvious.”
Construction of the Poultry Palace began in 1896, and was completed in time for the 1897 Illinois State Fair. Now repurposed as the Artisans Building, every Illinois State Fair, the building is filled with displays of Illinois crafts. During the rest of the year, the facility is rented for private gatherings such as wedding receptions, meetings, and high school proms.

A female Calliope Hummingbird feeding its young. Photographed in Hailey, Idaho
"Females build a well-insulated cup-shaped nest with soft, downy plant material. She camouflages the exterior with bits of lichen, moss, or bark fragments, which she binds together with spiderweb. On the outside, nests are 1.5-1.8 inches wide and just over an inch high. The inside of the nest has a diameter of 0.8 inches and is 0.6 inches deep. Females may reuse nests or build upon older nests in subsequent nesting attempts."

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!

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.
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.
Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Afrikaanderbuurt, Tweebosbuurt, Demolition, Reuse, Trailer, Crane, Workers (uncut)
This is for the for now the last one of the Tweebosbuurt mini-series. It shows that modern demolition nowadays can be relatively resource-friendly. When possible metal is salvaged from the rubble. And bricks too. After removal of the cement traces, they’re reusable for renovation and new constructions – they’re often used for their rustic appearance.
Beautifully shaped jam jars are saved and reused for homemade jam or jelly.

Have a nice Friday and a good start into the weekend. 🌸
Many, many thanks for all your views, faves and comments.
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.

We’re very into the notion of reusable wrapping alternatives, so this is my back-up posting for Macro Mondays theme of wrapping. The actual chosen posting comes up next. .

Older widebody airliners awaiting their fate in the hands of the recycling teams, all parts are salvaged and reused in one way or another
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.

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.
Reusing another old pic because no one loves to paint as much as Frances the artist does.
Frances was adopted in 2018 and moved to Australia.
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!
