A tiny green velvet covered jewellery box has come into its own today.
Even though both boxes are identical, Wrangler was annoyed that Freddy was in the box that he considered his. After an unsuccessful attempt to evict Freddy, Wrangler begrudgingly settled down in the other box.
CCF has nest boxes in various places. This is the male of a family who had nested at the hotspot. I guess he was practicing starting a new family. I should add that these shots were taken in the early morning, hence the grain.

I've rescued several box turtles from the highway over the years. I usually just let them go in the back yard. When I see a box turtle in the yard I wonder whether it's one I found on the road or whether it just wandered in from somewhere.
This looks old, and I have no idea who Bingham, Gardner or Taylor are - but they had something to do with water boxes.
I've only ever put binding on a quilt, so this was a first for me. The pattern didn't give much guidance on how to finish the corner binding edges, nor could I find any good pictures. I had to experiment a bit before I was happy with the results. It looks really snazzy, if I do say so myself.
This box has been in my family for over 100 years. It is said to have been looted from the Emperor's summer palace during the Boxer Rebellion.
The size is 280 x 120 x 90 mm
I don't know how much credence to give to that story, but it is beautifully and intricately carved. It's condition is only fair, with some shrinkage and splitting of the wood and some minor damage to the carvings in places.
More information from someone knowledgeable would be welcome.
This is my makeshift light box my man and I made. I need a bigger box but this was all I could get my hands on. Its a bit wonky but it does the job. I would like to try to build one out of some wood and get some better lights for it.

Here's the inside of my DIY light box, zoomed out to see all the crap you're not supposed to see. This is a VERY preliminary model - if I like it I'll build a better frame and avoid the red tape.
Basically it's just a cardboard box painted flat white on the inside. I cut holes in the sides and covered them with tissue paper. I shine a 250 watt halogen work lamp at each side, and you get a much more ambient light. That's the idea, anyway.
