It's a flower & a bee, over-processed....probably one of the most common photos on flickr. This is a token offering as I have nothing else to offer flickr at the moment.
Various objects and trinkets are left at Chief Sealth's grave, in Suquamish (near Poulsbo), Washington, on Port Madison.
Check it out large to see if you can spot the dice, the 10,000-dollar bill, the Sharpie, the bus transfer, and the Tic-Tacs.

A legacy from my late father-in-law, who worked for the electric utility that ran interurban, streetcar, and bus lines along and across the Mississippi River.

Engraved on this pendant is my nephew's full name, as well as his birthdate, and his size when he was born. My sister wears it every day. Beautiful momento.
I had some extra time before Rob got out of work one Saturday so I went to the Transit Museum nearby to kill some time. Turned out to be a fun little trip. Highly recommended for families with kids who love trains.
I think I still have some tokens somewhere for these slots.

This is Civil War Store Card NY630M-12ao. In this case, it has a reverse that was normally used as an obverse die, the side identifying the merchant. Its rarity is R6, with 20-75 examples known to exist.
I had previously misattributed this token as NY630M-6ao, but a friend, Alan of Massachusetts, one of my foremost authorities on Civil War Tokens, has pointed out the error in my research. The seller had also misattributed the item. Small world. ; )
It shows an die clashing and die cracks. Can you see part of the outline of an Indian on the reverse, the image on the right? There's also the remnant of a letter 'O' form One Country in the field. You may need to view the larger sizes. Click All Sizes above. : )
I would guess that more Broas tokens were struck with errors than without. Many are pathetic examples, like this. No matter how rare or valuable it might be, it is a fairly ugly token, but it's historically significant and interesting to study.
On the reverse, there are several die cracks, plus remnants of an Indian and an 'O' from One Country showing. I believe they were impressed into the die by independent die clashes, but am open to further information, if you have anything pertinent to offer.
