In 1927 Dr. Edward E. Webber opened the Webber Hospital at 5601 Grand Avenue in a neoclassical building of brick and sandstone designed by Harold Starin and A. Reinhold Melander. The building features an entry with stone columns and carvings of medical symbols. When it first opened it also housed the Webber Pharmacy along Grand Avenue.

Another scenery shot from a trip to North America. I loved the contrast of bright yellow fall foliage with the dark trunks and bridge.

Between 34 to 48 inches in length with a wingspan of nearly 7 feet. They are very tall with a long neck and long legs. Largely gray with a red forehead. Juveniles are browner and have no red on head. Their plumage often appears a rusty color because of iron stains from water of ponds or marshes.
They inhabit large freshwater marshes, prairie ponds and marshy tundra. They are also on prairies and grain fields during migration and in winter.
They range from Siberia and Alaska to the Hudson Bay and south into western Ontario. There are isolated populations in: the Rocky Mountains, the northern prairies, the Great Lakes, Mississippi, Georgia and Florida. They winter in California's Central Valley and across the southern states from Arizona to Florida.

At the start of the Sockeye Salmon Run in coastal Alaska, we encountered a small mother Brown Bear (Ursus arctos) and her yearling cub. As they checked out the creeks and streams nearby, this little family was super cautious. They were alert for larger bears, including a few huge males, who could kill the cub. They began feeding on grass behind us. We were primarily focused on the male bears fishing the streams for salmon. After a while, our guide told us the mom + yearling were climbing the hill behind us.
Having a mother bear and her cub staring down at you from a steep hillside is a sobering experience. She seemed to be checking the surroundings and assessing the situation. Mom and cub were tired. When they headed down the slope - right towards us - we had very little room to maneuver. Our guide gathered us close and told us all to remain quiet and stay together. The mother looked a lot larger up close, especially when you saw her huge claws.
Thankfully, there was a happy ending. Apparently mom decided that we were less of a threat than the other bears in the area, and she perceived some safety in our group. She and Junior plopped right down next to us, and they both fell into a nap.
An awe-inspiring experience. Hope you enjoy our short video (part of a larger project we are working on, featuring the bear country of the Alaska Peninsula and the Homer/Kachemak Bay area on the other side of The Cook Inlet). Stay tuned for more short Alaska films, as we develop material for the larger project.
