Pick the hottest day in July, and then go to Kamakura.

The Great Buddha of Kamakura (鎌倉大仏, Kamakura Daibutsu).

The statue was cast in 1252, initially inside a large temple hall. However, typhoons and a tsunami destroyed the temple buildings multiple times in the 14th and 15th centuries. So, since the late 15th century, the Buddha has stood in the open air.

Another interesting view of this great statue.
Summer 1979.

It’s always good to pick up plastic trash at the beach.

I finished two around-the-house projects this week.

It wasn’t a big project, but I was waiting for a part to arrive. I switched out our Samsung Bespoke refrigerator’s lower white glass panel and installed a charcoal glass panel for contrast. Samsung provided an extra set of three panels for free at the time of purchase.
I added some trim around the air handler to give it a more built-in look.
The unit is in our utility room, and although it’s in the back corner, I wanted it to look “finished.”
Our washing machine is in another part of the room.

Happy SUNday! – Kitchen Reno

Chris and Carol 1 Comment

Almost finished. Just a few more details and our kitchen renovation will be completed. Yeah us!

We installed the Cafe induction range, Ikea cabinets, stainless steel tile, marble slab backsplash, and Hauslane vent hood.
Marble slab tiles and a hickory butcher block work surface.

I’ll share more pictures of the other side of the kitchen soon. It’s more fun when you do it yourself.

A collection of images of the sky over Amelia Island, Florida. My son, Tim, captured the last photo on his phone (I think it’s the best). Do you have a favorite? Let me know. Thanks.

A bald eagle in its nest on Crane Island, Florida, along the banks of the Amelia River. Camera/Lens: Canon EOS R with Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM.

The eagle keeps a watchful eye on me and its favorite fishing grounds along the river. It is their nesting season currently and typically runs through May.
