The theme of the evening was 'Gothic', but I had nothing Gothic to wear so I had to rely on the Magic Boxes
Flew up to Christchurch for a job interview today. On the way back there was a stunning sunset out the window, unfortunately I was on the wrong side of the plane.
The nice view from my cousin's living-room window looking towards the South Pier at Stromness Harbour.
With its classic bull nosed verandah, this medium-sized weatherboard villa sitting amid a pretty cottage garden behind a picket fence may be found in the South Gippsland town of Leongatha.
Neatly painted all in white, this villa is architecturally typical of the houses built in the country by the professional middle classes in the 1860s. It features a wonderful corrugated iron roof and bull nosed verandah with elegant cast iron lacework beautifully picked out in white with blue detailing on the wooden support posts. Like other houses in the area, the villa has been elevated. This feature keeps the house safe from the hard, damp ground during winter, and allows air to circulate beanth the house during hot Australian summers to cool it, making the villa a more pleasant place to be in extreme weather. As logging was a typical industry in the area, it is not unusual to find a house to be made of wooden weatherboards, even if the owners are of a higher social standing than others around them. Like everyone in the district, the owners would have wanted to help their town prosper and develop. What better way of doing it than supporting the local saw mill and carpenters?
Leongatha is a town in the foothills of the Strzelecki Ranges, South Gippsland Shire, Victoria, Australia, located 135 kilometres south-east of Melbourne. The town is the civic, commercial, industrial, religious, educational and sporting centre of the region. The Murray Goulburn Co-operative Co. Limited, is a farmers' co-operative which trades in Australia under the Devondale label, and has a dairy processing plant just north of the town producing milk-based products for Australian and overseas markets. First settlement of the area by Europeans occurred in 1845. The Post Office opened as Koorooman on 1 October 1887 and renamed Leongatha in 1891 when a township was established on the arrival of the railway. The Daffodil Festival is held annually in September. Competitions are held and many daffodil varieties are on display. A garden competition is also held and there are many beautiful examples throughout the provincial town. The South Gippsland Railway runs historical diesel locomotives and railcars between the market and dairy towns of Nyora and Leongatha, passing through Korumburra.
I was in two minds about whether this would do for my number 10, but I've gone with it. I like how the two windows and the sign kind of make an H, and the sign has an H on it. Anyway, #10 done.
I love the still life sets that historical homes provide. Except that since Westville is a living history museum, so there is fresh firewood in every building that has a fireplace or wood burning stove.
This is in the Grimes House.

I haven't identified this spider yet. I was thinking that I'd upload it here once I'd managed to identify it, but that's not happening.
At first glance I thought this was a Salticus scenicus, mostly because I'm used to seeing Salticus scenicus spiders (they're very common here), and secondly because it's a similar size and shape.
But the markings are very different. It's not obviously resembling spider photographs or prints in my spider books.
Alan Thornhill (in comments below) has suggested that it might be an Icius sp, which would be a type of spider foreign to the UK. Interesting! Thanks Alan.
I've looked up Icius sp on Google and Flickr, and I can see resemblances.

These baby cats have a good time in the sun in this typical French windowframe in downtown Cucuron. A very charming village in the Vaucluse, Provence.

The Streets of the New Orleans French Quarter are beautiful at with their lines, texture and and design. The galleries and balconies all lit up add a mysterious ambiance to some of the quieter walkways.
House Sparrow / passer domesticus. Private site, Derbyshire. 04/09/15.
One of this years birds still bearing a trace of the yellow gape in the corners of its beak. I just liked the way in which it lowered its body when it noticed me
On site is a very healthy sized flock which is lovely to see after numbers have generally declined nationally. With the trend to renovate and develop old property, suitable nesting sites are harder for them to find.
Not the case here where they breed 'enthusiastically'! This year several of the old Swallow nests were taken over.
