Eggshell is almost entirely calcium carbonate. This equates with lime, I understand, and is a natural part of the soil around us. We got started saving them at breakfast-time when we had backyard chickens, after being told that tossing them back into the chicken run provided the birds with necessary lime in their diet and without the necessity of buying bags of the stuff. It is excellent to add to the garden soil, especially if the soil tends toward acidity where you live. Naturally, eggshells are happy to go into your compost, where they won't break down very quickly, but will ultimately benefit your garden. Wild songbirds will welcome them in their diet. To me, this makes much more sense than sending them to the landfill where usefulness ends.
I have a warm place in the kitchen where they dry quickly, especially the moist membrane inside (it contains protein). Otherwise, add them directly to your organic waste stream from kitchen-to-compost.
By the way, despite all the excitement among the healthy-eating crowd for eggs with brown shells, there is said to be no nutritional difference between the two. The white shell is associated with the commercial egg business (and all its negative aspects) because the White Leghorn breed, which lays white shelled eggs, is the principal commercial layer in the US. The color of the shell relates entirely to the breed of chicken doing the egg-laying. These are White Leghorn eggs, but laid at the farm across the road by hens we know. They are different in character from similar-looking ones we might get in the supermarket.
This may not be a nature photograph in the truest sense of the word, but there is a big connection. The location is the Peak District moors above Dove Stone Reservoir, The helicopter is busy flying in hay bails which will be used by RSPB staff and volunteers to obstruct some of the drainage channels that have formed on the top of the moors. This will hold water on the moors and, when wet enough, the volunteers will plant sphagnum moss. Sphagnum will help to keep the peat in place and prevent it being washed away and into the reservoir below. It will recreate a blanket bog, which once existed on these moors before pollution destroyed the sphagnum. Blanket bog is an important environment, which not only provides a breeding ground for invertebrates and therefore a food supply for birds, but it also acts as a carbon dioxide trap, absorbing and locking in CO2.
I recently painted this painting of my daughter Kiera holding one of the foster kittens we've had. I thought the photo was such a sweet image. We have very fond memories of our foster cats and would love to foster more. I will be away for a few weekends over the next couple of months so now is probably not a great time to take on a new foster.

Archie Comics is headquartered in Mamaroneck, New York. It features the fictional teenagers Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, Reggie Mantle and Jughead Jones.
Archie first appeared in 1941,
Cragside is a country house near the town of Rothbury in Northumberland, England. It was the first house in the world to be lit using hydroelectric power. Built into a rocky hillside above a forest garden of just under 1,000 acres, it was the country home of armaments manufacturer, Lord Armstrong, and has been in the care of the National Trust since 1977. The property was opened to the public in 1979.
Cragside, named after Cragend Hill above the house, was built in 1863 as a modest two-storey country lodge, but was subsequently extended to designs by Richard Norman Shaw, transforming it into an elaborate mansion in the Free Tudor style. At one point, the building included an astronomical observatory and a scientific laboratory. The Grade I listed house is surrounded by one of Europe's largest rock gardens, a large number of rhododendrons and a large collection of mostly coniferous trees. One variety of rhododendron is named after Lady Armstrong.
Lord Armstrong spent much of his time as a child in Rothbury to get away from industrial Newcastle to alleviate his ill health. He returned to Rothbury after not having a holiday for many years and decided to build a modest house on the side of a moorland crag. The original house was completed in 1863 by an unknown architect but was transformed by architect Richard Norman Shaw between 1869 and 1884 into an imposing mansion. Cragside is an example of his English Gothic style. The interiors are of national importance for its collection of furnishings, furniture (much designed especially for Cragside), and fine and decorative arts, including work by many other outstanding designers of the age, such as John Hancock and Albany Hancock and William Morris.
In 2007, Cragside reopened after undergoing "total refurbishment."
In 1868, a hydraulic engine was installed, with water being used to power labour-saving machines such as laundry equipment, a rotisserie and a hydraulic lift. Armstrong was inspired by a watermill on the Dee in Dentdale, and in 1870, water from one of the estate's lakes was used to drive a Siemens dynamo in what was the world's first hydroelectric power station. The resultant electricity was used to power an arc lamp installed in the Gallery in 1878. The arc lamp was replaced in 1880 by Joseph Swan's incandescent lamps in what Swan considered 'the first proper installation' of electric lighting.
The generators, which also provided power for the farm buildings on the estate, were constantly extended and improved to match the increasing electrical demand in the house. The 2006 regeneration project included extensive rewiring.
A new screw turbine was installed in 2014; it can provide 12 kW, supplying around 10% of the property's electricity consumption. The new system uses an Archimedes' screw 17 metres (56 ft) long.
The use of electricity in many of the houses gadgets and internal systems has also led it to be described by some as a smart home as it was the first private residence to use incandescent lighting, a dish washer, a vacuum cleaner and a washing machine. One of Armstrong's stated aims of both using and funding these new automation technologies was to "emancipate the world from household drudgery", as shown on a plaque at Bamburgh Castle, his other residence.
The forthcoming Benedict Cumberbatch film “The Current War” was filmed partly at Cragside - the film tells the story of electricity pioneers Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse.
SET 3 – Stein Mart, Gallina Centro, Collierville
“Saving is a beautiful thing” – so proclaims this Stein Mart standing sign, on our way to the store’s exit. I’m not sure if y’all caught it on our picture of the store’s exterior at the start of today’s set, but there was a “LAST 3 DAYS” sign out there; and indeed, this would be my final-ever visit to any operating Stein Mart location. As I expressed in my blog post, it’s sad to see the chain go by the wayside, but I’m glad I at least made this spontaneous trip to document each of the Memphis-area locations before it did! I also like how we can see the chain’s unique shopping carts in the background of this pic: yep, that’s literally just a wire frame holding two regular handbaskets, lol.
I’m taking a bit of a vacation from flickr these next couple of weeks, 1) so I can go on an actual vacation (!), and 2) so that, afterwards, I can build back up my arsenal of completed descriptions before I jump back into uploading – I hesitate to start right back without anything ready-to-go, or else I’ll inevitably get behind! So, instead, I’m taking my dad’s advice to “get behind early, so you have more time to catch up” XD I’ll see y’all in a couple weeks! Oh, and if all goes well, keep your eyes out (hopefully!) for a new blog post in the meantime, too…

Some of the swans at Exeter Quay are getting frozen and stuck. I watched this swan for 2 hours this morning. It couldn't walk on the ice (kept tripping) and then occasionally broke through the ice, but only to have the water around it freeze up again. It then flapped and struggled to get out of the ice holes. This man from the "River Exe and Exeter Ship Canal" (part of the City Council) stopped by to try to break the ice. See him throwing in this spade on the end of a rope. Lots of concerned people standing around.
I chatted to an old man, who said the river hasn't frozen here for 15 years. The swans aren't used to it.
Sculptures by the Sea - Sydney Australia,
There are two sculptures captured in this image - the portrait is a sculpture titled The Wanderer by Sean Henry and the second Save our Souls by Cave Urban. A friend and I were shooting another sculpture and I wandered over to this spot and saw the moon rising and I knew it that was image for me.
But it was extremely tricky to capture - I had seconds before another person came up to The Wanderer waving their torches around and potentially ruining my shot and the clouds were exactly where I wanted them. I then used a torch to quickly do the briefest of light painting.
The image for me is scary - it feels dark and foreboding and yet I think its beautiful - I'm classing this as my first portrait - very exciting,

It's so much easier taking my little micro 4/3 Panasonic GM5 when out hiking. You can see from the dust on my Nikon D7000 how little I now use it. Perhaps I'll dust it before putting it away. :-(

Saving seeds is a great way to save a little money. I also like to save seeds from plants I really like so I can keep them going in the gardens since you can't always find the seeds you want. I also like to trade seeds with friends.

I first saw this photo in the Saving Private Ryan companion book 12 years ago and thought it would make a great poster. So here it is!
Cordoba, Spain.
"The city has built many monuments to San Rafael, the patron saint of Cordoba. The most important of them is the one nearby the Mosque and the Triumphal Arch. It was made by the sculptor Miguel Verdiguier, in thanks for saving the city from the plague. The statue stands on a cushioned pedestal surrounded by columns rising from a castle, which, in turn, stands on a mountain with images of saints. The whole monument is adorned with animal figures and representations of the bountifulness of Cordoba's soil."
