While rummaging around in the archives for something else I ran across this image and decided to share it as today's entry:
We visited an "antique" shop today, one we haven't since COVID-19. I liked this saw sculpture, and as it turned out, the self-portrait. iPhone XR
we had some interesting weather last weekend.
We were warned about the moose when we were at Fort Wainwright, to avoid them while we walking between buildings!
One of the most vivid memories of my trips to Fort Wainwright were the sheets that were hung on the fences going on base by all the soldiers families with their names and the kids names welcoming their soldier home from deployments. A very graphic reminder of how much they were missed.

Burgamont Pillar. It’s the oldest standing church over 150 years in my community. I’m always amazed how these buildings are fortified and the architecture holds up this well over that many years.
The neighborhood moose are gentle enough to roam quite close to humans, except when the mother has very young calves, or when cornered on a trail during the winter months. In Anchorage one has the be aware of bears looking for food around the neighborhoods.
I understand what you are saying about the soldiers' family members, specially the children missing their fathers and mothers.
Shhhhh, quiet. You're embarrassing the kids.
I know what you mean, the oldest church in our city is a little over 1000 years old.

Hahaha my relatives in Greece are laughing at both of you...not to mention those from Egypt.
Actually,I was slightly off with my time-stamp. I looked it up, it’s only 130 years old. But Still, when you look at the infrastructure of how these buildings were made, it’s pretty impressive to survive seasonal elements, weather destruction over that many years, etc.
What kind/species of bird is that? I can’t figure that one out for the life of me.
Common mud hen or 'coot'. There might be other names for them around the country.
Ahh, I was going to guess some type of ‘black spotted’ loon based off the look of the red-ish like eyes.
Juvenile, but large enough where wouldn't mess with it
To expand, my parents were actually born in Egypt, part of the one-time large and thriving Greek community there. Father's family has their roots in Cappadocia in now Turkey (where I have been and gotta dig up some pics) Mom in North-West Greece near Ioannina. So yeah I've seen old stuff. So here is a photo taken last February in Athens of the Temple of Hephaestus (circa 415 BC) located in the Agora of Athens, we took our class on a guided tour there.
I wanted to post a photo of the remains of an iron serpent column from Delphi located near the ruins of the Temple of Apollo but on reading up saw it's a replica as the original was moved to Istanbul (not Constantinople) a few centuries ago.
"OK. When I ran up this tree it seemed like a great idea."

"Now how the f**k do I get down?"
"Hello?"
Photo taken with the camera on a Motorola Moto g6. Focal length 3.95mm, F number f/1.8, Exposure time 1/40.
