Happy Friday

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !!

Today is an orange day at Color my World Daily and we celebrate boxes at Crazy Tuesday. And of course today is also Happy Teddy Bear Tuesdays which I like very much !!

So happy orange/boxes/ Teddy Bear day to you all !!

And what is more fun than playing hide and seek in yellow origami boxes ? Playing hide and seek with a friend ! So that is why Mr. Teddy Bear invited his longtime friend Wiktor. Mr. Teddy Bear is in a red zone and he lives alone, which means that he is allowed to have one visitor and one visitor only. This is perfect for a small get together with Wiktor!!

At first Mr. Teddy Bear wanted to do some cleaning of his garage but then seeing all the boxes Wiktor and him decided to play hide and seek AND do the cleaning after ! Everything was super fun until Mr. Teddy Bear found a box full of Valentine’s Day decorations… Of course, it fell from the highest shelf and all the hearts were on the garage floor… That is when our Teddy Bear started thinking about finding love…Who knows maybe a box full of hearts was a sign ? Maybe he will find his soulmate very, very soon ! Who knows ?

Not me and I have to go since there is another video meeting in 5 minutes and I need my coffee very, very badly !!!

See you later my friends !! And have a beautiful day !

And just for your information , this is my picture number 308 !!! Will I make it to 365 ??

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and healthy!! And see you soon on Flickr !!

Happy Caturday!

Thank you all for visits, faves and comments! It's greatly appreciated!

his name is José

it the cat that belong to the lodge I stayed in

With a small Art Gallery and cafe in the little anexe type place.. if you zoom in the couple outside look like a) they are both about to puke or b) see my camera trained on them and put their hands up to their faces.

I thought I was far enough away not to be intrusive but i didn't notice till I zoomed around my image looking for faults...Church Cove just a little further on..

Looking close...on Friday.

There is a book called Life in a Box by JoDee Neathery.

I must admit, I haven't read it. But the title is agreed upon by Jeffrey.

For the Happy Caturday group theme "Books".

I'm quite busy these weeks, so isn't so active with comments as usual. But I see and enjoy every photo in the group.

When I got up this morning, I found my cat in a box of light~

made me giggle.

In the Santa Catalinas in Arizona

This is the entrance to Box Canyon, Arizona. Series of pictures showing the makeup of the canyon, wonderful 4 whl drive country!

These communications boxes look in real need of a fresh coat of paint.

Ranty post, would love a discussion on my blog about it >5

The DRD Shadow Box is a monthly subscription box that combines the mystery of getting something new and unknown once a month, with a bonus reward for purchasing a full series. Every Shadow Box contains twelve items created by Death Row Designs. Every series is 6 months, or 6 Shadow Boxes. At the end of a series the bonus reward becomes available to anyone who has received or purchased every box in the series......

Read the rest and grab the designer and event information on Threads & Tuneage

is a box of love. This box holds letters from my daughter when she was serving in the Army National Guard in Afghanistan. Christmas ornaments made by my kids with their pictures in them and birth announcements of my Grandchildren. The necklace belonged to my mother and isn't usually kept in this box but it made the pic more interesting. It makes me smile.

At Pashley Manor Gardens you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.

All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.

Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.

Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.

Found this old jewel box in one my cupboards . The patterns and inlays are slowly peeling off but the work is still exquisite.

Took the photo in bright sunlight. on a white background .

The design and pattern on this box is found in many traditional and ancient Indian items.

Abandoned place.....!

Have a great week guys.Thank you for comments and faves.

If you like chocolate boxes, and let's be fair at this time of year they can be quite appealing, then this might be the shot for you.

Discarded in favour of a more arty upload a week or so ago, this one again features the 9.30am Arpley - Tunstead (6H02) hauled by DB Cargo 'Tug' 60044 'Dowlow' at Chinley, captured this time on the approach against a not-so-shabby autumn backdrop.

Note the faded 169 milepost, just to the right of the loco. Positioned beside what would have been a four-track alignment when installed, this would have been the distance to London St Pancras via the now closed route through Bakewell of the old Midland Railway. It's good to see a bit of history still surviving.

Processed at high-res, so it will stand full-screen viewing.

Commenting turned off, thanks.

Little antique alabaster box 5x5 cm

Last year a horde of small caterpillars quickly destroyed around 50% of a box hedge which Ray had planted and lovingly nurtured.

This year their offspring from the webby structures they built on the leaves of the remaining hedge are hatching out and starting to chomp away at it.

Numerous remedies have failed to tackle them - anyone have any ideas?

I wonder who gave me this box and what was in it?

Smile on Saturday! :-) BOX
