A few weeks ago, while walking through a local park, I noticed an owl nesting box that had been taken over by honey bees.
The last time I was at the park, I walked one of the paths and found 3 more. I was happy to see how much the bees like these boxes, and thought how easy and inexpensive it would be to put these out in quiet places near gardens, and hopefully provide homes for more bees. If the bees don't claim it, there are many birds who would--making it a win/win for everyone.
Anything that we can do to help the struggling bees would be a good thing, and making it easier for them to create new colonies would be a great thing.
I don't know the logistics of the style or make of a 'bee box' that might be better, but I'm sure there are many who would know....
Just putting this idea 'out there' as one of the many positive things that each of us can do to help the bees.
The 1st box on the upper left is the one I originally found, and posted a few weeks ago. Each of these was in a different location, and high up in a shaded area--making it not that easy to get a clear image....
The last one on the lower right had a large honeycomb attached to the top of the box, and it was visible from where I stood.

Steve Hackett from his recent 'Genesis Revisited' gig at the Royal Albert Hall.
The RAH is such an iconic venue, I was keen to get some shots that captured the band's performance...in the context of the venue.
This one works for me. :-)
The light on the boxes was fleeting. I shot a burst of several shots...and this was the only one where the boxes were highlighted.
My thanks are due to Steve and Jo Hackett for arranging my Access All Areas pass. :-)
You can see other pics in my Steve Hackett set.
For removing wet dust jackets -- the scotch tape holding them to the book can damage the cover if staff try to tear them off.
I can't believe it yet! I have my own Kirakishou! *O* She has always been my dream pullip. It was really difficult, but finally she's here ... Did I say that I can't believe it? xDDD
I can't wait to show you the pictures I've made >///_<)

"Commissioned by Bacardi, and completed in 1975, the Jewel Box is a rare example of Miami Modern architecture.
Designed by Igancio Carrera-Justiz, the Jewel Box hovers forty-seven feet above ground on Biscayne Boulevard. The colorful glass mosaic walls on all four sides of the building are based on designs by German artist Johannes Dietz. Each side depicts the rum-making process: how stalks of sugar cane are converted into molasses.
Its vibrant glamor and vivid extravagance is highlighted during the morning sun, and emphasized at night with strong, hot ceiling lights." Aimee Rubensteen
the boxes of the old bridge hang above the boxes of the buildings (which have box windows and box cubicles)
When there was a lull in the fighting on the front in the war between Finland and the Soviet Union, soldiers made this kind of wooden boxes.
OK, so the Red Box Project (www.flickr.com/photos/puckpics/albums/72157663674756954) is largely about the variations and situations where GPO Red Boxes and there equivalents are installed.
These may be planters in a garden center, but they are still red boxes created in homage to Sir Giles Gilbert Scott's seminal 1924 design.

I'd had an Amazon delivery and the box was on the floor by my feet. Max decided to investigate, so I picked up the camera.
First he took out the packing paper, pushed the box upright, went round and round - head first, bottom first, tail in, tail out, until at last he sat up tall and proud!
"I did it!!" lol
One of Scotland's more modern but also short lived signal boxes, Hunterston Junction.
The signal box was built in 1978 to a standard Scottish Region Relay Room design with signalman's area combined. It opened with the commissioning of the short branch off the Largs line into the British Steel High Level Loading Terminal. The new facility built by British Steel allowed iron ore and coal to be rapid loaded to trains direct from conveyors at the Hunterston deep water port replacing what had previously been done at General Terminus Docks on the Clyde in Glasgow. The box opened on 2/4/1978 but initially only controlled movements within the High Level terminal complex and trains running on the 3 mile branch to and from Hunterston Low Level in conjunction with Hunterston BSC Control Tower in the port. It wasn't until 20/7/1986 that it was fully commissioned as a block post on the Largs passenger line when track rationalisation ahead of the electrification of the line resulted in adjacent boxes closing at Fairlie and Holm Junction. Hunterston Junction box ceased to function as signal box when Paisley PSB took over the route on 28//8/1992 when it was down graded to a Ground Frame. So a relatively short life of six years as a fully fledged signal box. It remained in situ controlling access to the High Level Sidings only, being manned by BR yard staff then EWS after privatisation but not in a signalling capacity. With the cessation of coal traffic in 2015 it saw a further downgrade to an unmanned relay room as the branch to the high level was mothballed.
My last three photos from my June 28, 2016 walk in Frear Park, Troy, New York, USA. I saw what looked to be newly-hatched Box Elder Bugs. When I first noticed them, they were huddled together--adult & nymph. As I leaned close, to take macro shots, the adults wandered off, leaving the nymphs alone. Finally, all that remained was nymphs. Not very conscientious parents, I guess! ; )
I rescued this box turtle crossing a road today. Biggest one I've seen in many years, and I couldn't let him be killed on the road. I brought him home and Baby babysat him until Lindsey came home from work. Lins and I turned him loose in our back yard, since we have woods and wet land on our property.
I only took this kind of photo of him.....he's a turtle, not a prop. I wasn't going to scare him by taking photos.

An abstract interpretation of the iconic Bathing Boxes that adorned many of the seaside townships along Australia's coast line. Clayton Blake's use of concrete, abstract forms and geometric shapes is a celebration of the 1950's post war brutalist Architectural Movement.

At 180 feet down, Box Canyon is a deep and narrow gorge in Mount Rainier NP from which the Cowlitz River flows. The paved trail here is a little treacherous in wet weather: steep and bumpy, but plans to redo the trail are evident by the construction equipment here. Purple wildflowers were blooming where the mist was kicked up, but behind roped off areas, so I didn’t venture there. I was a little nervous taking these shots, as the best view is looking over the rain-slicked, dry rotted railing and looking straight down, but fortunately, the landscape photography gods were kind to me and I did not lose my camera gear in the abyss.
For "Looking Close ... on Friday". A very old, much played with Jack-in-the-box which is only 2 inches high.

1994 Leyland DAF T244 with box.
Ex-military and registered for civilian use in August 2018.
Seen here in the livery of the Walter family, Avon Dassett.
Origami box with Lucky Star molecule. The molecule can be tessellated and is based on hexagonal 8×8×8 grid.
I called it this way because I was happy about this design which I find quite elegant. Even though I have seen some similar ideas (e.g. by Alessandro Beber and Peter Keller), I wasn't able find proof of anyone creating exactly the same design before, so if it really is new, I will feel lucky to have found it. If I do learn of someone folding it before, I will still feel lucky to have reinvented it.
Update: I learned that the molecule is structurally almost the same as Day and Night Tessellation by Haligami, the only difference being how the rays of the star are locked.
