in Fundy National Park, NB, Canada. 110mm of rain the previous night has added a lot of water to it, this is about as close as I could get.
I found a plethora of wonderful scenes in just one alley in Milwaukee's historic Third Ward.
Here, it was some graffiti with beautiful light hitting the wall.
Another one!!!!
This one is different - in stead of the fluffy polyester batting, I have put two layers of woollen fabric between the patchwork and the backing. Result - oh, what a pleasure to sew throught the layers, but what at change in weight...! The baby in question will undoubtedly be warm and happy, but the blanket is a LOT more sturdy and heavy than the other ones! :-)
Again I have used lots of favorite fabrics, several swap fabrics from the FAA-group and the fat quarter swap, and a bit of old, hand embroidered table cloth from the thrift store!
Trimmed again with linen bias tape.

This was our first ever canicross race. To tell you the truth, my first race of any sort since my school days!
Staten Island
The three-story granite and red brick Second Empire style building which occupies a central location on the grounds of the former Coast Guard Station at the foot of Bay Street, St. George, Staten Island. has had a long and distinguished history of government service first as the main office of the Lighthouse Service Depot for the Third Lighthouse District, and later as the Administration Building when the compound became a United States Coast Guard Base.
Well built, of fine design and materials, this building is expressive of the era when, under the direction of Alfred B. Hullett, Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department for nine years from 1865 to 1874 , many important and impressive buildings were built by the federal government. Among these were the old State, War, and Navy Department Building located next to the White House in Washington, D.C., a tour-de force of French Second Empire design, and the huge Second Empire style post offices in New York City and St. Louis, Missouri; the former, located at the foot of City Hall Park, was demolished in 1939 , while the latter, now being handsomely restored, is a designated Landmark of St .Louis. The small but beautiful office building at St. George, Staten lsland, erected for the U.S. Lighthouse Service in 1868-1871, clearly shows that A.B. Hullett gave as much thought and attention to buildings of small scale as to larger ones.
The French Second Empire style office building as completed in 1871, was the square portion which now forms the center section of the structure and it was constructed of the best materials. The foundations and the stone trim are of a pale grey granite liberally streaked with veins of pink and flecked with tiny specks of black. The walls are of red sandstone and hard-pressed red brick of excellent quality, while the mansard roof is covered with dark grey imbricated slates arranged in a hexagonal design - a most striking combination of colors and materials, now concealed beneath white paint. It is interesting to note that when the wings were added in 1901, the original Second Empire design (executed in the same materials) was used throughout except for the windows, where one-aver-one sashes popular at the turn-of-the-century were substituted for the two-aver-four sashes of the 1860s. The foundations up to and including the water table are of rock-faced granite as are the window enframements, the quoins at the corners, the belt course at second floor level and the square stone porch at the main entrance.
The walls of the first story are constructed of random ashlar blocks of red sandstone while those of the second story. Above the granite belt course are of hard-pressed red brick laid in a running bond. Originally, the building presented the same basie arrangement of openings on all four sides. The front having a centered entrance with a single window above and paired windows at the sides on both first and second floors; the rear identical, but without a porch at the entrance; and the sides with the same design, except that all openings were windows. All windows contained two-overfour sashes which are still in place. Each of the four sides of the sloping mansard roof had three metal-framed, flat-topped dormer windows with two-over-four sashes and decorative "Flemish" scrolls at the base where the enframements met the roof at the eaves just above the wide cornice which contained a metal-lined gutter atop a wooden frieze decorated with long and short horizontal wooden panels. There was a small square cupola in the center of the roof to aid in ventilating the building.

This is my bedroom with a bit of the wild life for a theme as you can see from the bed and pics on the walls. Added a couple of comfy chairs for reading or talking and a small tub for a nice bath before bed.
This picture uses the rule of thirds because the honeycomb lies within the intersection of two dividends of the page.
