While getting ready to go to church this morning, Dominic found two box turtles eating some cantaloupe in our compost pile. This one wasn't afraid and didn't go into his shell at all.
One of Jerry's toys made by Arnold from the early 50's It has a winding mechanism that makes it go and another thing to make it turn right and left.
The box is so cool I had to show it off
"Looking close on Friday" "BOX".. 1964 Mini Cooper S. If only it was full size and in just as good condition, you would probably then be looking at £50,000 worth of Classic British Motorcar.
From series "Modern city scapes".

These are our old money boxes with a selection of old pre decimal coins that we would have saved in them. The Burslem & District Industrial Co-operative Society Ltd are long gone. Leek United Building Society on the other hand are just like it says on the box "Firm and lasting". I can still vaguely remember my Mum taking me into the local branch with an ancient Leek United money box. The gent behind the counter commented on its age and went to find a suitable key. When he opened the box there was a collection of coins, buttons and an assortment of odds & ends that caused a certain amount of merriment. Mum made the total up to ten shillings and I became the latest member of Leek United Building Society complete with a brand new blue moneybox. Years later I got to know the gent who signed me up, it turned out that he retired on that day, I was his last new member. "Money Box"... "Smile on Saturday"...

LONDON PUB.
Isn't it beautiful in Summer, to see houses, walls, windows and facades, decorated and cheered up with flowers.
Some people just do not have a garden, what a brilliant solution, for all of us!
Do we even think about that now or is it just another given?
It suddenly dawned on me.
I think there is a trend though, to also have autumn and winter plants and fun.
Oh please, ANYTHING to make our moods brighter, lol.
Thank you, M, (*_*)

With full frame a noticeable loss in magnification in macro though the D750 produces a much cleaner image with less noise than my old D5300
The eastern box turtle is one of six extant subspecies of the common box turtle. It has a high-domed, rounded, hard upper shell, called a carapace. The vivid, orange and yellow markings on its dark brown shell distinguish it from other box turtles, as do the four toes on its hind feet. Its distinct coloring camouflages it among the damp earth, fallen leaves and other debris found on the floor of moderately moist forests.
The underside of its shell, called its plastron, is dark brown and hinged. All box turtles have this bilobed plastron, which allows them to almost completely shut their shell. When threatened, the box turtle pulls its body into its shell and waits for the danger to pass. Its shell is also unique in that it can regenerate. In one reported case, the carapace of a badly burned box turtle completely regenerated.
Box turtles have a hooked upper jaw, and most have a significant overbite. Their feet are slightly webbed. There are many ways to tell a male and female box turtle apart. Males are generally larger and have shorter, thicker tails than females. Males also have short, thick, curved hind claws, while females' hind claws are long, straight and thin.
Eastern box turtles walk energetically with their heads upright and may travel about 50 meters (55 yards) in one day. A homing instinct, an innate ability to navigate to a "home base" despite being in an unfamiliar area, helps this turtle find its way back home.

Teasing is over, here is the real thing. Inside the box, a semi-illuminated street with a strange scene going on.
These photos are'nt so great, but this creation means a lot to me, so please visit this page for more pix, different views and construction details :))
Made for a local convention this last week-end, and more coming up hopefully!

Rings in a jewelry box.
Mostly, if not all, come from my wife's past, she very rarely wears these nowadays. It was tricky to shoot with the different shininess of the different metals and stones. Used a 55mm f2.8 lens, handheld with a diffuse light source. Used Gimp to blend a couple of different exposures to highlight the colours in the blue ring and not be too harsh on the gold ring.
