This is the last standing silk mill in the USA. Built in 1905 and closed in 1957, the mill has been left virtually untouched since its closing.

This is how most Tummy Time enrichment goes. Scream for thirty seconds, and collapse from exhaustion. Robert is even worse.
This is by far the largest insect I've ever seen! I received it from my brother in Honduras. I used my 430 EX bounced off a low white ceiling to trigger a second (slave) flash behind the camera to the left that had a homemade diffuser attached.
This was taken on Ynys Llanddwyn in Anglesey, walking back to the car and he was just sat there. Such a beautiful place.

St Peter and St Paul, West Newton, Norfolk
West Newton is a pretty little village at the heart of the Sandringham estate. It is, in my opinion, the very model of what an estate village should be. The workers houses are fine, and constructed to a high standard. There are workshops that serve the estate, and one of those friendly-looking social clubs that you get in villages around here - it is said that Queen Alexandra disapproved of pubs, and so Edward VII gave the villages social clubs instead.
All of this is in the Arts and Crafts vernacular style of the day, and arranged pleasingly around the church of St Peter and St Paul on its mound at the heart of the village. On such a sunny day it felt a privilege to be here.
The 14th century tower of the church is grand and stately, and its solid carstone with freestone corners looks as if it might be made of gingerbread and icing. A beautiful contemporary image niche sits beside the west window. The 19th century pinnacles at the top are jaunty, if a little out of context on this tower. The body of the church is also carstone, built of blocks on the south side and in slipped layers on the north, as if this was a vast dry stone wall.
The churches of north-west Norfolk were in a pretty dreadful state by the middle of the 19th century. There are more ruined churches here than anywhere else in England. The purchase of the Sandringham estate by the Prince of Wales revitalised the local economy, and his patronage led to some pretty substantial restorations, most of which are to a very high standard in terms of both design and construction.
Few of the estate restorations were more substantial than that of West Newton. Apart from the tower, the church was almost completely rebuilt in 1880. The architect was, perhaps surprisingly, Arthur Blomfield, who we rarely see on such an intricate scale in East Anglia. Here, he is at his highest, putting into practice the Prince of Wales's Anglo-catholic sympathies and producing a very Arts and Crafts feel to the interior, particularly with the cottage-style windows in the aisles.
One of the windows is filled with the memorial to Captain Frank Beck, who was killed along with many of his men at Suvla Bay in Gallipoli on 12th August 1915. It is the work of Karl Parsons, one of the greatest of all stained glass artists of the first half of the 20th Century.
This stream is behind Sturgill Baptist Church in Sturgill NC in Ashe County close to West Jefferson. They usually have a lot of native trout.
This cake was made for my daughters 10th Birthday. She requested her favourite things to be on the cake...hence the wide verity!
This doe was leading her fawn away from me and the only shot I had was their rear ends. A deep gutteral buck's grunt stopped them in their tracks and made them take a look to see if a mature buck was talking to them.

This compass, found during a recent collection review, was manufactured by Emil Busch AG of Rathenau, Germany. We have yet to identify the type, date and use.
Can you help the Museum identify this compass further?

This goes back to 2020 - out our way to Flowood, Mississippi. Got this pix in Louisville, Mississippi.
This was a great day. I went on a short photo drive this morning. This afternoon Bill & Rusty picked me up to drive to Rancho Mirage to meet Darek after work. We all had supper at The Old Spaghetti Factory and then went to Glow Park at the Living Desert Zoo. Bill & I rented scooters for the evening...they were fun and much better than doing a lot of walking.
This week's challenge was Thanksgiving. More than the food is the giving thanks part to me. We all have so very much to be thankful for and we need to not save that thanks for one day only.
This is a fabric ATC. I transferred the image to the fabric using gel medium after I inverted the image. I then placed a layer of timtek in between the fabric pieces to give it stiffness. I sewed around the image, added a bit of trim, sewed the edges with a zig zag stitch, added the flower button and the wee acorns to complete the look and season of the card.
I am thankful for the MAMMA group that challenges me to be a better artist weekly.
This station was closed. I took this photo past five pm on a weekday. The middle stand, with a white cover, is used for drive through banking. Under the white part is a stand to put in a tube. In this tube the customer puts in checks or deposits, a vacuum system sucks it into the bank, some distance away! I did not realize this system was still in place! You can see in this photo how far the bank is from this tellers station. There is also an intercom in this contraption so the teller inside the bank can talk to the person in the car. Since the bank was closed, this naturally would be closed too. It is not an ATM.

This is a photograph from the 32nd annual Bohermeen AC Patrick Bell and Nicky Phillips Memorial 5KM Road Race, Jog, Walk, and Fun Run which was held at Bohermeen AC, Ardbracan, Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland at 19:30 on Saturday, 10th June 2017. The race was held in very summer conditions with a strong summer breeze. This year seen a return to the traditional fixture on the first or second Saturday in June as the race was held on the last Sunday in May last year 2016. The race commemorates Patrick Bell, the late Bohermeen clubman who died tragically in the summer of 1985 following a traffic accident, whilst returning home from Cork having competed in the National track championships. Nicky Phillips is a former athlete and president of Bohermeen AC and is also remembered today. The wonderful atmosphere, the great racing and participation, the work by the club, Meath Athletics, the local community, and the beautiful summer's day, yet again, a fitting tribute to Patrick's memory and his contribution to Athletics in Ireland. The race also commemorates clubman Nicky Philips. Congratulations to everyone involved. Everything that is good about grassroots athletics and running in Ireland was on show in Bohermeen today. The race started 400m from the Bohermeen AC track and heads towards Navan. The course then makes 3 right hand turns around some beautiful rural country roads and turns back to Bohermeen AC and then back for the final kilometer which is straight to the track and the finish on about 60 meters of athletics track. Participants, friends and families were able to enjoy a BBQ outside on the infield of the athletics track at the club house. Over 450 runners, walkers and joggers took part in today's event with many more choosing to take part without chip timing.
All photographs were taken at around the 3KM mark.
