It is no secret that I love hollyhocks. So much so I will go out looking for some to photograph. Today was one of those days where I felt I needed a hollyhock fix so what better place to go than Maple Beach down at Point Roberts. (For some reason they seem to have more hollyhocks per capita than anywhere else around here.). I wasn't there long when I came across the most beautiful display and as the owners of the house were sitting out on the deck I called out and asked if I could take a couple pics of their flowers. Not only did they kindly agree to let me take some photographs but also invited me into the garden where I could enjoy them even more. While I was there the owner told me they have no idea where the flowers came from, one day they happened to look out and saw they had hollyhocks in the garden. Those first flowers flourished and gradually developed into the most beautiful extravaganza. Gradually people would make a point of walking by to admire the hollyhocks and those admirers would be offered seeds that had been collected from the previous year so they too could have some of these plants to enjoy. Over time the seeds from those couple of stray hollyhocks found themselves in numerous gardens in the Point making it the place to go for Hollyhock hunters.
PS. I was offered some seeds today too however I didn't think bringing them over the border would go down well.
Found this windmill on the backroads about a year ago, and then promptly forgot about it. Found it again in my back files. Will I ever find it again in real life? Doubtful.
I hadn't found anything until now, and today on my way back I found: a black glove, a banana, a plastic bottle, a cup, a small orange string. I opted for the latter, keeping in mind the yesterday «orange colour» theme!😀

Theme "Lost and found"
Civita was founded by Etruscans more than 2,500 years ago. Its population dwindled to just 6 residents over the course of the 20th century. Civita was the birthplace of Saint Bonaventure, who died in 1274. By the 16th century, Civita was beginning to decline, becoming eclipsed by its former suburb Bagnoregio.
At the end of the 17th century, the bishop and the municipal government were forced to move to Bagnoregio because of a major earthquake that accelerated the old town's decline. At that time, the area was part of the Papal States.
In the 19th century, Civita's location was turning into an island and the pace of the erosion quickened as the layer of clay below the stone was reached in the area where today's bridge is situated. Bagnoregio continues as a small but prosperous town, while Civita became known in Italian as il paese che muore ("the town that is dying").
The town is noted for its striking position atop a plateau of friable volcanic tuff overlooking the Tiber river valley, in constant danger of destruction as its edges fall off, leaving the buildings built on the plateau to crumble.
The population today varies from about 12 people in winter to more than 100 in summer.

Found Kodachrome slide dated May 1964 showing the same Mini as in Found Slide - 5074 parked near one of the Oxfordshire "white horses".
I was sure I had a fence for Fence Friday somewhere and, well here it is. Another scene from Brisbane’s Roma Street Parklands looking towards the city, most of which is hidden well over yonder.
It’s amazing what they can do with old inner city railway yards...both Melbourne and Sydney at least also enjoying the benefit of these former facilities in the form of Parklands and public open space.
A feast for the eyes and camera....I seem to be using F a lot here, works fabulously. HFF and also a great weekend all.
