The petals fell from my birthday flowers and are now looking more like potpourri....the beautiful glass bowl, another long ago gift, was handcrafted by a Santa Ynez artist, according to the tag.
Gartelmann Liqueur Muscat bottle now holds bird feathers I've found ... seems appropriate with the Magpie picture.

A view of the former 3rd Ward School in Petersburg, Illinois. Shown above is the main building of the grade school that was constructed in 1874. While the original use of the building ended decades ago, the structure has been repurposed and is now known as the Landmark Apartments.

HLCoF everyone!
Previously the jar contained my homemade jam. The label is homemade, too. It is my photo of the view from our house at Rocky Butte. Mt Hood is obscured by the coin.
A long time ago someone must have needed an instant corral so they lashed a bunch of utility gates together. This makeshift corral at Quiet Valley Ranch looks like it has been there a long time. HFF
Once a workmen's hut for Dubs Quarry at the top of the Honister Pass, the Dubs Hut was renovated in 2016-17 by the Mountain Bothies Association (MBA). www.mountainbothies.org.uk/
The purpose of the MBA is "To maintain simple shelters in remote country for the use of all who love wild and lonely places." And this is most definitely one such place.
The deep cleft beyond the hut is the path down to Gatesgarth and the southern end of Buttermere Lake.
This is the remains of a tree that was felled in my local park, as a result of disease. These sections were left where they were felled and have become a feature, where families gather in the Summer and children climb. There is so much character in this solid timber that must be many years old.

CS-TOP, an Airbus A330-202, on approach to runway 24R at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario. "PEDRO NUNES" was arriving as TAP9187 (Transportes Aereos Portugueses, S.A., operating as TAP Air Portugal) from Lisbon, Portugal.
This aircraft was reconfigured as a dedicated freighter in December 2020 and now wears "AIR CARGO" titles. This flight's payload was reportedly COVID-19 vaccines.
Hiding away from the eyes of the general public, this neat little critter spends her retirement days shuffling cars around within the confines of Charter Steel in Saukville, Wisconsin in a mostly intact coat of WC maroon and gold paint with it’s WC road number. The CN owns the Mill-Saukville portion of this line specifically to serve Charter Steel with a local based in Germantown, while the WSOR owns everything north up to Kiel and west to Ackerville with a local based in Granville. A quick picture search indicates that the retrofitted safety railings along the top of the hood were installed within the last couple of years. They’re not pretty, but at least the paint matches.
A view of one of the shop tracks at Baltimore & Ohio’s Glenwood Yard reveals Chesapeake & Ohio 8504, the hulk of an F7B used to transport prime movers. Also on the same track are a B&O gondola, and the frame of B&O crane X48.
The old mill at Ebridge North Norfolk, long fallen into disuse, has been refurbished and converted into private dwellings.
A cold and tranquil sunrise.
Knightshayes Court is a Victorian country house near Tiverton, Devon, England. The former stables have been repurposed as a cafe.
Fire Hose Houses were used on the Union Pacific railroad to cover a hydrant and store hoses and other firefighting equipment. When they were no longer needed they were sometimes repurposed as outhouses. This is the third one I have found and there is just enough of the Fire Hose sign to identify it. When used as a hose house it would have had a hydrant inside connected to a water line through a hole that was convenient after the outhouse conversion. One of the hose houses I found still had a crank on the outside that must have worked a hose reel. This outhouse is at a corral on the Crow Creek Road, Bear Lake County, Idaho.
This is the Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge located in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Many years ago it was repurposed from a Rail Bridge to a walking bridge. In order to visit a family member, we drove from Digby, N.S. to Fredericton N.B.. We had reserved the 4:30pm Ferry but at 3:pm, we received an email stating the Ferry had been cancelled, and in fact never left Fredericton. Bastards!
We kept our cool and decided to make the 6.5 hour drive. We did however, enjoy the scenery along the way. My compliments to those responsible for designing the highway system in Nova Scotia. Other Provinces could learn from those engineers, and how to move traffic both effectively and quickly.
