Now that the dust has settled a bit, perhaps it's time to upload some of my small Woolworths backlog. This picture of the Great Yarmouth store was taken three months ago when, as far as any of us knew, all was well with the great household-name retailer.

The early 13th century Biblical window in the north choir aisle, amongst the very finest medieval windows to survive. The panels represent subjects from both Old and New Testaments; the original panels from the two lowest rows have not survived and their places have been filled by scenes from other windows of the same date (mostly from a now empty window in the north east transept).
Arguably the most important of England's cathedrals and its Mother Church, few other buildings embody the nation's history as much as this one. It also bears the distinction of being the first major example of Gothic architecture in Britain, where French masons introduced the style during the rebuilding of the choir following a major fire in the 1170s. Throughout the following centuries it became one of Europe's leading centres of pilgrimage, when thousands flocked to venerate the shrine of murdered archbishop St Thomas Becket, but brought to an abrupt end with the English Reformation, when a saint who defied a monarch was viewed with particular enmity. Though all traces of the rich shrine were destroyed, the site of Becket's martyrdom in the north transept remains a place of reverence to this day.
The cathedral is a stunning building which represents both the earliest and latest styles of English Gothic architecture, from the French inspired eastern limb and apse, to the nave, transepts and the three towers, all soaring examples of the Perpendicular style, the central tower (the 'Bell Harry') being an especially fine structure (the north-west tower was rebuilt in the 1830s as a copy of its medieval neighbour on the south side following the demolition of an earlier Norman tower, thus the present symmetry of the west façade is a relatively recent feature, originally its mismatched towers would have given it a more Continental appearance).
The earliest parts of the cathedral however are Norman, represented the easternmost chapels and transepts flanking the choir, survivors of the fire of 1174, each transept being adorned by a richly decorated miniature tower. The crypt below is the finest in the country, extending below most of the east end (with a transitional early Gothic extension to the east under the apse). Superb examples of Romanesque art can be seen in many of the crypt's sculpted capitals, and the unusually well preserved murals in St Gabriel's chapel (sadly photography is forbidden in these areas).
The cathedral contains many notable tombs and monuments of all periods from the 13th to 20th centuries, foremost amongst them being the tombs of Edward the Black Prince (with a superb bronze effigy) and King Henry IV.
It's most celebrated feature is its wonderful collection of stained glass, much of it dating back to the late 12th and early 13th centuries including a sequence of the Ancestors of Christ and the especially beautiful 'Miracle windows' in the ambulatory (relating various miracles associated with Becket's shrine). The glass is justly famous as the very finest in Britain, its deep blues and reds often compared with the famous windows of Chartres.
On the north side many of the former monastic buildings remain, with a fine late medieval cloister and a vast rectangular chapter house. The cathedral library also stands here, but was rebuilt after being destroyed by bombing in World War II; fortunately all the medieval glass in the cathedral had been removed for safe-keeping throughout the war and damage to the building was otherwise superficial.
Canterbury Cathedral put simply invites superlatives, one of the most rewarding churches anywhere and a magnificent testament to England's Christian heritage.

One nice thing about visiting Sausalito on your wedding anniversary is that it is just across the beautiful Golden Gate Bridge and there are plenty of tourists on hand to take your photo for you. Here is Melody and me posing for a photo that another visitor to Sausalito on a sunny day took for us using my Canon Powershot SX50. He took three shots but, as often happens, the first seemed the best. I drastically cropped the original image to produce this photo.

My second Three Wise Mice - they started out intending to be Apple Mice, but when I saw the three of them sitting together, I couldn't resist!
Three nearly grown owlets wake up from their nap to find that mother has gone away--social distancing in a palo verde tree about 100 feet down the wash. As the owlets get older, mom will start to spend more and more time away from the nest-- though never far away-- to encourage the owlets to start exploring on their own.

A mated pair of Great Horned Owls (Bubo virginianus) have used this broken cactus (it's missing its center column) as a nest site for at least the last eight years. Our great horned owls are one of the earliest birds to nest-- beginning around mid-late February with owlets hatching around mid-late March or the first week of April. The female will sit on her eggs for approximately 30-35 days before they hatch; during this time, the male will bring food for her.
From the Cornell Lab of Ornithology:
"With its long, earlike tufts, intimidating yellow-eyed stare, and deep hooting voice, the Great Horned Owl is the quintessential owl of storybooks. This powerful predator can take down birds and mammals even larger than itself, but it also dines on daintier fare such as tiny scorpions, mice, and frogs. It’s one of the most common owls in North America, equally at home in deserts, wetlands, forests, grasslands, backyards, cities, and almost any other semi-open habitat between the Arctic and the tropics."
