With COVID-19 essentially shutting down campuses all across America and the world, there are few normal days to be had. Like most of my colleagues at the University of Michigan, I have been working from home. There is also a "stay at home" order in the state that really strongly encourages people to stay in (to flatten the curve). In the Governor's order, we do have the freedom to participate in outdoor activities - as long as we keep a social distance of 6 feet. I keep at least enough room for the Holy Spirit to drive a car between me and anyone I am with. So today, I went to campus to see and feed my squirrel friends. This is the third time I have made the "Squirrel Run" - I have missed them a great deal. So off to campus I went. I did not get within six feet of anyone NOT a squirrel. In regards to the squirrels it was a banner day and I took a lot of pictures during my short time on campus! Besides seeing all the squirrels and feeding them (with a big old bag of peanuts), it was quite exciting. I was able to see Lefty, my favorite three pawed squirrel over by the Law Quad. I did not see the juveniles by Mason Hall, but I did see the squirrels in the scilla field near Martha Cook. I did see a group of juveniles who are living in Hatcher Library in the brickwork. I am going to call them the Hatchlings and there are four of them! Be safe everyone - we will get through this. Sending love and virtual hugs from Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Signs that summer is getting long in the tooth along the Macomb Orchard Trail in Washington Township, Michigan.
OK - not a lot of pictures - but a great story. I was walking in the Law Quad this morning - trying to get out in between the rain showers. I was feeding some squirrels in the Law Quad when I heard some squirrel yelling over near Hutchins Hall (to the west of the Law Library). Then I heard a high pitched screech and heard something fall. Yikes! It was a squirrel nest that fell - and there were two baby squirrels on the ground. It fell from around 8 feet - and the squirrel was moving. But I was freaking out - what to do! I was fairly sure the momma was around. I did not want to spook her - so I did not get good pictures of the baby. I ran back to my office for a box that I was going to move the babies to. They were not there when I got back. I am fairly sure that momma got her two babies and moved them to a new location. I came back a few times - I did not see the momma again. But there will be juveniles around the Law Quad over the next few months! I had never seen babies before - so that was amazing. Just too nervous to get a good picture. Taken over at the Law Quad on Tuesday August 21st, 2018.

The Temple of Hephaestus, also known as the Hephaisteion or earlier as the Theseion, is the best-preserved ancient Greek temple; it remains standing largely as built. It is a Doric peripteral temple, and is located at the north-west side of the Agora of Athens, on top of the Agoraios Kolonos hill. From the 7th century until 1834, it served as the Greek Orthodox church of St. George Akamates.

The most amazing sky in my front yard last night. It had been sprinkling and all of a sudden this sky appeared and a few minutes later it was dark.
This completely chopped down tree in a forest in rural Thane, has miraculously sprung to life again - despite a truant monsoon. It is simple things like this that reaffirm one's faith in the Miracle of Nature, which seeks to regenerate despite mans best efforts to destroy it.
The forests of rural Thane district, Maharashtra, India, are rapidly thinning due to chopping by local villagers and overgrazing. This year, the monsoons have not even set in properly. If the trend continues, there will not be any forest cover left in a few years time.

The Monastery of San Millán de Suso is located near the village of San Millán de la Cogolla and it was built in the 6th century over the ruins of a Visigothic monastery. It was in this monastery where the first literature was produced in Castilian.
"The locus of Spain’s soul lies among the churches, synagogues and mosques built by her inhabitants over hundreds of years. Most of all, I sense this core value among my Spanish friends today. It is a spirituality, which greets all people as sacred, of equal value."

Tower of the Church of St. Michel in Bordeaux, France. This site is a World Heritage site by the UNESCO.
The Palace of Culture and Science was just across the street from our hotel. The building is hated by most Poles. It was a "gift" to Poland by Communist Russia during the Communist occupation of Poland. One of our guide books told a good story about the building. It said people in Warsaw ask where is the best place to live in Warsaw. The answer is Inside the Palace of Science and Culture because that way you can't see it.
I personally found it to be an intersting building but can understand why its so hated.
A visit to the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria in Peruigia.
From the third floor upwards.
Mostly crucifixion crosses and other Christian religious art not to my taste.
Got these views though out of the windows.
After getting our tickets, we had to put our large bags in a locker.
The Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria (English: National Gallery of Umbria) the Italian national paintings collection of Umbria, housed in the Palazzo dei Priori, Perugia, in central Italy. Located on the upper floors of the Palazzo dei Priori, the exhibition spaces occupy two floors and the collection comprises the greatest representation of the Umbrian School of painting, ranging from the 13th to the 19th century, strongest in the fourteenth through sixteenth centuries. The collection is presented in 40 exhibition rooms in the Palazzo. On the second floor of the Gallery, there is an exhibition space for temporary collections, changed several times a year.
The collection's origins lie in the foundation of the Perugian Accademia del Disegno in the mid-16th century. The Academy was originally based in the Convento degli Olivetani at Montemorcino, where it began to assemble a collection of paintings and drawings. The town became part of the French department of Trasimène in 1798 and its religious houses were suppressed. This suppression was repeated by the united Kingdom of Italy from the 1860s onwards - both suppressions shifted a large number of paintings and artworks from church to state ownership.
In 1863, the civic paintings collection was formally named after Pietro Vannucci, but the problem of establishing an appropriate site to house the collection was not solved until 1878, when it moved into the third floor of the Palazzo dei Priori in the town centre. With the addition of acquisitions, donations and bequests, the pinacoteca became the Regia Galleria Vannucci in 1918, under the patronage of the king. The name was later changed to Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria. Over the years the entire complex of Palazzo dei Priori has been repeatedly affected by renovations and functional adaptation. The museum path, inaugurated in its current form in 2006, occupies an area of 4000 square meters on two floors.
