Please forgive me for my absence. I woke up the other morning with a really sore throat and it's been downhill ever since. I shall try my best to catch up with everyone, this weekend.

The part of the house with the high peaked roof was built by butcher Thomas Ives, who later added a lean-to the south side and a kitchen lean-to at the back. Around 1740 the southern lean-to was replaced by today's gambrel-roofed addition. From 1750 to 1780, the house was owned by Capt. Joseph Hodges, and in 1780 the house was purchased by tanner Jonathan Andrew. The house was lived in by descendants of the Andrew family from 1780 to 1964, when the house was sold to the National Park Service.(Wikipedia)
Loved the colour of this old building as i drove past so managed a quick shot, Not the best as the road was to busy to set up the tripod and was quite dark but kind of think it suits a wee bit of grain now.
This one is for Beth. I wondered if the A-frame you posted the other day might be the start of someone building a construction like this.
There has been quite a few similar constructions in the Woodlands where I walk, I'm sure they are children's lockdown activities. Our Aboriginal folks called them a Humpy, sometimes also called lean-to's because they usually use a standing tree for support, or to lean on.

On Friday, I had not long got into work when Phill rang to say that Kaiser was very distressed and had huge amounts of drool coming out of his mouth. When I got home he had run outside onto the lean to roof and there was lots of drool still coming out of his mouth. It took an age to coax him down but eventually I managed. I rang the vet and got an emergency appointment, but not until 11.00am. The drooling had subsided a little but he was still very distressed. The vet check him out and said that although his teeth were in good shape, he flinched when she touched one of them. She said that he might have banged it against something (perhaps Pixie thumped him!) Or it could have been he ate something that was mildly corrosive. He was given a painkilling injection and some Loxicom which he absolutely loves. He seems totally recovered now and we are keeping an eye on him for any changes. The vet advised to take him back in a week or two if nothing changes and they will check him out again. It gave us such a fright. I have had Kaiser from 6 weeks old. He is now 13 and has never been ill. Oh his weight is back up to 7 kilos *sigh*
An old barn and lean to set of this summer rural scene in Langley. Things are dry as we haven't had much rain in over a month.

この国宝の八角三重塔は、全高18.75メートルで、四重塔にも見えますが、一番下の屋根はひさしに相当する裳階（もこし）です。
全国にある１３基の国宝三重塔の１つです。
日本に現存する近世以前の八角塔としては唯一のもので、歴史的に八角塔は京都法勝寺、奈良西大寺などに存在したそうですが、戦乱などで失われたそうです。
創建は諸説があり、使用されていた建築木材の分析により、鎌倉時代末期の1290年代の創建というのが有力とのことです。
中国宗代の先端技術の唐様（からよう）によって立てられ、和様の塔とはまた違った重厚なたたずまいを感じることができます。
The octagonal three roofs pagoda of this national treasure is seen on the fourfold tower with 18.75 meters of overall height, but the 1st roof is with a lean-to equivalent to sunshade .
This octagonal Pagoda seemed to exist with the only thing in Japan . But historically there were another 2 octagonal pagodas in Kyoto and Nara before the early modern times, but seemed to be lost by war.
By analysis of used building wood, the foundation in the 1290s of the last years of Kamakura era is with existence.
It is raised by Chinese design of the advanced technology of Chinese sect charges and is with a solid appearance different from the tower of the Japanese architectural style again.

Another example of our crazy seasons! This is under our lean-to, no heating!
Some Info
In the UK they are usually grown in a warm conservatory or in a heated greenhouse as they need a bright sunny location and a minimum nightly temperature of at least 10°C (50°F), any lower they lose their leaves. They are quite at home in large pots and planters, as they like to be slightly root-bound.
Look closely to see the ship on the horizon, I didn't know it was there untill I started editing... nothin like a bonus boat!
GBRf 'Shed' no. 66762 leans to the curve passing Nuneaton with the 9.28am Dagenham Dock - Garston Car Terminal (6X43), and its load of vehicle carriers plus cars.
This was one of the two out-and-back trains that worked between these two points on the day - the outbounds to Garston with a timed trainload of 1200 tonnes, and the returns to Dagenham with a load 950 tonnes (presumably just the empty carriers).
Trains carrying cars to Southampton Dock from Jaguar / Land Rover's Halewood plant for export to the US and Far East seem to be pretty thin on the ground these days, currently running at around one or two per week.
May have been a bit of slider work for artistic effect.....
Comments off for this one, thanks.

I stopped along Gap Lake near Canmore last weekend to have a bit of lunch at one of the many picnic tables along the lake shore. I was the only person there...the silence was truly golden.
Funny bird. Great Blue Heron.
117 in 2017 Unusual Angle. Well, maybe not so much for this guy, but it makes me laugh.
Skyline drive in May. The trees just about to turn green, nothing but warm days ahead, winter a fading memory, sigh...
10 Year Project
Each month I take a favourite photo from ten years back, and re-edit it, using current tools and knowledge.
This one... well, I think my priorities have changed perhaps, and I want to see more of the context for the window.
Another photo from the lookout near our golf course. Sorry if these are getting old but you have to forgive me... the colorful part of our autumn lasts only a couple of weeks because of the high winds coming through this mountain pass. So, I will probably try a couple more times to improve on these.
After the leaves blow down, I may purchase a vase and some plastic flowers and try my luck at indoor still life photos.
It's hard to make these photos look level. The tall pines always lean to the east because of the prevailing winds.
The bridal was hanging in a lean-to when the Mourning Dove moved in. In previous years, doves had been nesting on the safety covers of weed whackers forcing the farm workers to use other equipment until the chicks hatched. The following year, they hung the weed whackers in a way to discourage nesting and provided the birds with alternatives in the building's rafters. Thankfully, the doves loved their new accommodations.
In a recently cleared area of Hasting Country Park I'm not sure if this tree is alive or dead or even what it is/was - HTT!

We have all seen photos of this beautifully designed barn with its fence in the Grand Teton National Park . . . but to be in its very presence is an honor and privilege. What a wonderful setting . . . would love to visit in the spring with the mountains covered in snow.
[Located in Grand Teton National Park, The historic TA Moulton barn is over 100 years old.
Started out of necessity to shelter his horses against the harsh winters of the Tetons and Jackson Hole, Thomas Alma Moulton didn’t know he was building a future landmark to a nation and mecca for photographers to come to. He and his two sons, Clark and Harley worked the land to provide for their families. They worked together along with their neighbors to carve out a meager existance along what was known as Mormon Row. Started in 1913, it took many years for the Grand Teton barn to be in its current form. First built as a square box, later on the peak and one lean to side was added. Later, when more room was needed, the other lean to side was added. This was a functional working barn. It was never intended to be the most photographed barn in America.
Two brothers, Thomas, John filed on their 160 acre homesteads in of 1907. A third brother, Wallace filed a year later. They had learned of the rich soil from other Mormon homesteaders who had filed before them. He first built a small cabin to live in during the summer while working the land and building on his barn. In 1912 Alma and Lucile and baby Clark, moved from Idaho to the homestead into a cabin with a dirt floor and not much more.
Up until 1961, the family worked the ranch to support themselves and help the community survive.] . . . {{{This information taken from www.themoultonbarn.com}}}
