From this Friday Eve morning as the snow began to fall:
(FWIW, this morning as snow began to fall I was rushing to photograph a newly placed survey marker on a parcel of property before it would become covered with snow. Just as I completed my task I heard the cracking sound of branches snapping. As I peered up there were two moose on my property headed toward me. Needless to say I made a quick exit - but not before capturing the sighting as evidenced here.)
And once I had retreated, here are the moose now at a safe distance:

I came across this wooden sign today outside of OC Barbershop in downtown Huntington Beach and thought it looked really cool. I think it’s part of a marketing campaign for California Republic t-shirt company or something like that.
Then I thought, I wonder if just the top part would work as a coin background so I took a picture of it. I might be fooling myself, but I think it works good for any toned coin that has any brown or orange in it 🤔
Photos of and at my neighborhood lake which doubled as the set for an Arctic sea in the opening whale hunting scene of the Drew Barrymore/John Krasinski trapped whales movie, "Big Miracle" which was based on a true story that due to international cooperation between the Soviets and the U.S. was an "ice breaker" for the end of the Cold War.
Yesterday was the start to this Holiday Season as an abundance of trick-or-treaters showed up beyond expectations forcing us to find some non sweet treats to add to the mix. Having the option of Top Ramen was welcomed by some.
The candy delivery was accomplished using the drop basket technique to comply with social distancing protocols.
Then it was appreciated that modern technology allowed us to share in the festivities with extended family located in distant locales.
And then there was the "Pumpkin Spice" concoction I came up with experimenting with using egg nog to make a seasonal themed tapioca pudding. All are welcome to imitate for a Thanksgiving treat. (Just substitute half of the milk for egg nog and add cinnamon and nutmeg before boiling.)
Had a nice day with my better half today. Nothing beats New England this time of year. We had a nice lunch at a brewery in Brattleboro, VT. The view from our table.

That bridge is really cool too. Would have made a nice addition to my bridge themed book.
@1630Boston I found some Harpoon brewery beer here the other day. That's incredibly rare on the west coast so I'm excited to give it a try, even if it is strange pumpkin something. Why can't they export UFO I think it was called. I toured their brewery on vacation in 2012 and have always had a soft spot.

Hmmm ? Desert ?
Looks like a growling lion facing right to me.

What do you think?
Mr_Spud
Maybe for copper too, but I’m not sure. It didn’t look good to me for gold coins, except maybe orangish ones, or white coins though🤔
And I’m pretty sure this one will only work with toned Franklins 😎
Mr_Spud
Then, on the way home, I took this picture
Then square cropped and flipped it mirror like and it became this where the flower is behind the coin🎃

As a footnote, Drew is wearing the orange life vest in my photo of the film's shooting.
They are pretty cool.
