One consulation for the cold in winter is moss.
I just love the way it covers some walls.
One of my neighbours cleaned it all off and the frost got into the bricks and has shattered them..there is a moral there maybe!
I came home to find these sparrows pecking at the mortar. They were hanging on to tiny ledges between the bricks.
This segment of road was part of the 1926 to 1930 alignment of Route 66 near Alburn, Illinois.
After Route 66 was realigned in 1930, this section briefly reverted to its State Route 4 designation before being abandoned in a 1932 relocation of the State road. About 1.5 miles of the section, known as the Auburn Brick Road, was incorporated into the 1932 modifications and resurfaced by hand with brick at the same time.
Today, this section of brick road is listed n the National Register of Historic Places.

I love all types of art and admire creative people since I have no creativity at all. We flew into London a few hours earlier and I was trying to stay awake so I decided to check out the murals of Brick Lane in East London. I exited from the Tube station, took a wrong turn, and ended up near the East London Mosque. Interesting area. I got my bearings and found an amazing number of murals and paintings, not just on Brick Lane but in surrounding parks. Absolutely amazing and a great place to check out - and then have a curry afterwards!

For the monthly scavenger hunt (my first attempt in that group. Still searching for an armadillo!!!)
I made this quilt from an odd assortment of scraps and stash fabrics. It's based on a quilt in the Japanese book 'Machine Made Patchworks'.

This old brick wall runs the lenght of our garden and beyond. The colours are lovely if you catch them in the right light.
There are many elegant homes in the waterfront suburb of Devonport which date from the late 1800s. Most of them have million dollar views across the harbor to Auckland city. Some have original brick chimneys from the huge fireplaces which were essential in those early days for all forms of heating. This one stands out with its deep red brick work and embedded floral design contrasting with the slate colored roof and pale green facings of the house.
