Thunderbird Park was established in 1941 when a display of totem poles from the Royal BC Museum's collection was set up at the corner of Belleville and Douglas streets in Victoria. In 1952, Anthropology Curator Wilson Duff initiated a pole restoration program and hired Kwakwaka'wakw master carver, Mungo Martin, as chief carver for Thunderbird Park. Thunderbird Park is named for the mythological creature found on many totem poles: the ones in the park came from the Gitxsan, Haida, Kwakwaka’wakw and other First Nations.

I found this cat sitting in the window while walking through Frederikshavn in northern Denmark. It's one of the reasons I like towns that have houses built right up to the sidewalk.

Up and away

I'm walking in the neighbourhood after dinner, looking in trees for owls (I never see owls) but I did find a cat on a swing!

But I think this is my favourite because it's joyful.

Happy memories from an all too brief visit to Germany in 2015, this seems a lifetime ago!
