Happy Wednesday! My animal for the day is an Opossum. Very rarely seen......I saw one the other day but I'm pretty sure it wasn't faking death 😬😬 poor love. I hope you are having a good week. 💖😊 #opossum #bainbridgeislandwildlife #localwildlife #bainbridgeisland
An engraved plaque is mounted into the front of a large gray mountain-shaped, partially lichen-covered stone. Behind the stone, a small California lilac tree is beginning to bloom with purple flowers. The plaque reads: "On the morning of March 30, 1942, 227 Bainbridge Island men, women, and children, most of them United States Citizens, were escorted by armed soldiers to the Eagledale ferry landing. They solemnly boarded the ferry Kehloken and departed on a lonely journey with an unknown destination and fate. "They were exiled by Presidential Executive Order 9066 and Civilian Exclusion Order No. 1 because they were Nikkei — persons of Japanese ancestry. With only six days notice they were forced to hastily sell, store, or make arrangements for all of their possessions, businesses and property. They were allowed to take only what they could carry or wear. "They were the first of more than 120,000 Japanese-Americans to be forcibly removed from their homes and experience three years of unconstitutional internment. No all were interned. Some were drafted into the military, some were unjustly imprisoned, and some moved away — but all were forbidden to remain. "We dedicate this site to honor those who suffered and to cherish their friends and community who stood by them and welcomed them home. May the spirit of this memorial inspire each of us to safeguard constitutional right for all. "Nidoto Nai Yoni 'Let it not happen again'".
Memorial #stone marker at the #BainbridgeIsland Japanese American Exclusion Memorial, speaking with hope and determination: "Let it not happen again."
And yet, inexplicably and inexcusably, here we are.

And the leaves keep on falling. On the ground, on the stairs, on the cars and even in baskets.

314/365 Another Pi Day
Picture 314 of my 365 project, hence, another Pi Day. Sunset comes in the middle of the afternoon in the PNW these days. So here's one I captured a couple days ago on a walkabout.

This guy's outfit and decking just about says it all. One last question remains. Is he radio active?

An enormous sculpture of a troll, seated on the ground in a grove of trees. The troll is constructed completely of recycled materials, with segments of wood planking comprising the arms, hands, legs and feet. The wood on the chest and shoulders resembles shingles and the chest is adorned with a necklace featuring a pendant made of the knot of a tree branch. The face is made of darker and golden toned wood with large flat surfaces creating a wide nose under cavernous eyes. Gnarly twigs make a curly head of hair atop the head.
A square metal geo-marker placed in a diamond position is secured to a rough boulder on the ground. The top quadrant features an etching of Pia's face. "No. 122", "Pia Peacekeeper," and "www.Thomas Dambo.com" are etched beneath the face. The bottom quadrant features a QR code.
"Pretty pretty please, let's keep peace beneath the trees"
