Dan Antion our host for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge has chosen a theme of Retail for the challenge. This week’s challenge is focusing on non-food related retail businesses. At first I wasn’t sure if I had any non-food related businesses, but luckily while searching through my archives I found a few from here, there, and yonder which I believe fit in with this retail focus.
Here are my entries …

Our Fallen Brothers is called Marine Corps Interrogator Translator monument, it honours those who died in combat. The monument is a 38,000 pound stone and is etched with the names of nine Marines who died in combat, some in World War II, Vietnam, Korea, and Afghanistan.
Marine interrogators and translators worked to question prisoners of war in their native language and translate the information for intelligiance purposes.
The Marine Corps Interrogator Translator Monument serves as a symbol of their sacrifice. This Monument is one of several Memorial Monuments honouring Fallen Soldiers located within the Lejeune Memorial Gardens in Jacksonville, North Carolina near Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base.
Always Remember our Fallen.

I had plenty of time to look and Skywatch (Weekend Sky) on Friday afternoon waiting and waiting and waiting on the school tbus to bring Coleman back from school. I walked to the bus stop, arrived in plenty of time before the bus was supposed to arrive, but alas I had to wait what seemed like forever before it finally arrived.
I was traffic going up the hill and down the hill and no bus came from either direction for a long, long time. I watched the clouds up above in the sky, then watched a lone black bird soaring overhead. It soared back and forth and to and fro giving a very entertaining show for me while I stood, and stood, and stood some more. Is it a Coragyps atratus (Black Turkey Vulture) or a Ictinaetus malaiensis (Black Eagle)? I’ll let y’all decide and give me your feedback.
Click on each image to enlarge.
I know that the image may not be the best to determine the species. I only had my smartphone with me at the bus stop. Google Lens gives both as suggestions. Go figure.
Now how about looking at some zooming on “land” instead of in the “air.”
You may see the Sky contrast from the early morning Sky above the Amtrak to the afternoon Sky. All images taken from the bus stop up the street from our home.

This week John from Journeys with Johnbo is hosting the Lens-Artist Photo Challenge. He has come up with the “Looking Back” theme of Autumn. With mainly the Northern Hemisphere being in the Autumnal Season and the Leaves are changing colours, it seems appropriate that we show off our Fall/Autumn colours. I am linking up with Dawn’s Festival of Leaves, which I feel is definitely appropriate due to the Autumn Colours of Leaves being displayed. You can find out more about Dawn’s Festival of Leaves challenge here.
Here are my entries for these challenges …

Five days a week as I wait at the bus stop before (with Coleman) school and after school (waiting for Coleman), I watch the Norfolk Southern Trains chug chug chugging up and down the railroad tracks. Coleman loves to watch the trains (he would love to ride in one one day). Sometimes when I am waiting for him to arrive back at the bus stop in the afternoon I’ll capture the Norfolk Southern Trains chug chugging along with my smartphone. Then he’ll watch the train later in the afternoon.
Here is a trio gallery of the Norfolk Southern Trains as they zoom past me standing on the corner.

M Judson Booksellers is located in downtown Greenville’s historic downtown courthouse building. They are a local independent bookstore offering bestsellers, classics, local specialty items, cards, gifts, and novelties for book lovers.
M Judson Booksellers is not your ordinary bookstore, they believe that stories don’t just come wrapped in book jackets. They believe that they sometimes come bottled in a wine, roasted in a bean, baked in a bread, woven into a tea towel, or created in a moment.
M Judson Booksellers baristas love coffee and as much as they love books. Booksellers believes everyone loves stories and they have a philosophy of Read first, Recommend second.
The building it is housed in has an amazing history. All of their authors, vendors, readers, books and gifts have stories that made them who they are. At M. Judson Booksellers their job is to weave those together.

Walking through Goat Island Park and Greenway was/is a fantastic way to unwind and reflect on the goodnesses I have been blessed with throughout my life and in the environment I currently dwell. God is so good, He’s so good to me. His artistic creations and colour palette are displayed in all the different places we meander through here on earth. The changing colour scheme with every season keeps me in awe of his mighty power to make all things new and beautiful in His time.
This season of change from Summer to Autumn the colours have become more subdued and neutral bringing out the amazing shades of brown, tan, red, and orange. Today, however, I am picturing signs of Autumn as seen through a black and white colour palette.

I became a mom to my first born son and I have loved you since you were a tiny baby growing inside of me. You are my first rainbow 🌈 baby and you may never understand the significance of your birth or the images I still carry in my mind and heart of your sister or brother who never came to live amongst us in this vast world of ours.
I have watched you grow from infancy into adulthood admiring each and everyone of your life’s accomplishments. I have watched you strive to, grow, learn, develop, and thrive in each and every aspect of your life and I am proud of the man you have become today.
I might not have agreed with all of your life’s decisions, but I will stand by you till the end of time. You are my son, a part of me, and no matter what I will always love you forever and always.
Happy Birthday John!

October 4th was World #Animal Day. This year’s theme is “Save Animals, Save the Planet.” The idea behind the theme is to highlight how protecting animal lives supports a healthier, sustainable planet. 2025 marks the 100th Anniversary of World Animal Day.
Many of us (speaking specifically for myself) do not see Safari, exotic, or any non domesticated animal species other than perhaps in one of the many Zoos around the world.
Here are a few photos I have captured of Animals living in a Zoo or Safari Park environment.
Sadly, Saied, one of the African Lions who called the Greenville Zoo home since 2010 is no longer amongst us. Saied was a 15-year old African Lion who had a rapid and irreversible worsening of degenerative joint disease and spinal neurological issues. After much discussion, testing, and constant monitoring the Greenville Zoo staff had the hard decision to consult and come to an agreement on what was best for Saied. It was with a heavy heart that the consensus reached was to euthanize Saied and relief him once and for all of his suffering.
It is extremely important for us to recognize the value of the Animals which share our planet. They cannot speak for themselves, so we must speak for them. Each species which exist here on earth have unique ways in which they help to support life.
World #Animal Day is a reminder for us to maintain and continue protecting animals. Without the animals our very existence and survival would be nearly impossible and meaningless. When we protect the animals, we are essentially protecting ourselves.

There are many ways the term Hanging could be interpreted, such as Hanging around (with friends) Hanging Upside down (like a “monkey”), Hanging In (Being persistent, carrying on under difficult circumstances), or perhaps used as in the expression How’s it Hanging. These types of Hanging are totally different and distinct from Debbie’s example of Curtains Hanging or any other object Hanging.
I’m going to show you some “Hanging” examples of “Like Mother … Like Son.”

Good Day Everyone! Welcome to my post for John’s Cell Pic Sunday. Previously on September 7th I ran a post introducing the Story Walk that was coming to Cramerton. At that time the Story Walk posts were in the ground waiting for the Story Walk story to be attached. You may view the original Story Walk post here.
During the following Monday I had an amazing opportunity to meet up with John from Journeys with Johnbo blog and his lovely wife, Lynn. We met at the entrance to Goat Island Park and Greenway and walked the trail to the Riverlink Greenway Trail. We walked the trail together enjoying the time together and discovering each story aspect along the Story Walk trail.
Walk along with us as we visit the Story Walk together. Below are some highlights of the Story Walk.

Thank you John and Lynn for meeting up with me and letting me show you What Everyone Should See (LAPC #367). I really enjoyed our visit together.
I am linking up with John from Journeys with Johnbo blog’s CellPic Sunday. I am also going to link a day early to Judy’s Numbers Game.

Can you guess whose status will be changing? You might ask what kind of status … let me tell you. There will be a status change in our family. Why? Whose status is changing? Coleman’s status is changing hurt by. How is Coleman’s status changing in our family? Can you guess?
These are the reasons Coleman and I were waiting in the Waiting Room.
We had to wait for the right time, so Coleman could see the images of his Baby Sister.
It was difficult for them to get a really good shot of her head. She was facing downward.
You may have figured out Coleman’s status change in the family by the images. If not, Coleman is excited to become a Big Brother.

Conoclinium coelestinum also known as Blue Mistflower is a native perennial wildflower. It has fuzzy blue or violet flowers that bloom from late summer to frost. [These just recently popped up in the last week after lots of rain and thunderstorms.]
It is a member of the Asteraceae family. It was formerly classified in the genus Eupatorium, but phylogenetic analyses in the late 20th century research indicated that that genus should be split, and the species was reclassified in Conoclinium.
The Blue Mistflower is native to the eastern part of the United States of America from New York down to Florida and west to Nebraska and Texas. It can grow up to three (3) feet tall and spreads quickly to form dense groundcover.
This species prefers moist soils and can be found in wood edges, sandy woodlands and clearings, wet meadows and stream banks. It can thrive in a variety of light conditions ranging from shade to full sun. [With the tropical storms and thunderstorms we’ve been experiencing the ground is extremely wet making the conditions viable for the growth of the Blue Mistflower.]

This night we were disturbed and confused by the loud sound of dogs barking continuously. The loud noise was disturbing during the time of evening we were trying to get Coleman to go to sleep. The extremely loud and constant barking was preventing him from getting to sleep. We were confused and did not understand where the excessively loud barking was coming from until our neighbours two doors down knocked on our door. It turned out our landlord brought them to the backyard of the house next door to us and chained them up. We were confused and disturbed by this knowledge and did not understand why he would do such a thing.
Our neighbour, Chris, called the landlord and asked him to come get the dogs. He let him know he did not want to hear the dogs barking all night long. He was called around 8pm after the dogs had already been barking for over three hours. When we found out where the barking was coming from we discovered that no food or water was in sight for the dogs. Randy, the landlord, told Chris he’d be there to take care of the situation at 9:30 (another hour and a half of continuous barking). He didn’t actually show up until almost eleven (11) pm. So a total of a minimum of six (6) hours of continuous barking with the trio of dogs chained and left with no food or water. Very Disturbing indeed.

“Every window tells a different story”.
If only I could hear some of the stories these windows could tell. I wish I could remember what it was like to gaze out these windows and watch the comings and goings of friends and family.
The above home is the first place I ever lived. If only I could know the stories those windows would tell if times long ago.
“Bless those who see life through a different window and those who understand their view.”
— Unknown author
Through every Window in every home tells a chapter in the story of my journey through life.
The above home is the second home I lived in from the time I was two until the summer before I started kindergarten. That summer we moved to the home shown below. I loved looking through the windows and knew that excitement and adventure was awaiting me on the outside.
“The window is where curiosities meet. Insiders are curious about the outside, and outsiders are curious about the inside”.
— Author Unknown
Peeking through the curtains, watching and waiting with anticipation … wondering who will be dropping by … curiosity beckons me to the window.
“Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.”
— George Bernard Shaw
The many Windows in the church could tell a vast array of stories regarding the comings and goings of all who consider this like home and all its inhabitants like family. This church was almost like a second home spending every Sunday morning and evening, and every Wednesday night as well. Sometimes the rest of the week as well, in my youth many a day was spent with friends playing, connecting, conversing with each other like we couldn’t wait to hear the stories we knew these windows were hearing.

Many Windows (On a Ferry) …
In the Pacific Coast waters off the State of Washington …
Operated by Washington State Ferries. The MV Chelan began service in 1981. In 2004, it was refitted with a second vehicle deck, and in 2005 it was refitted with safety equipment to meet the requirements of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea.
This upgrade allowed the MV Chelan to make international trips on the Anacortes–San Juan Islands–Sidney, British Columbia route. The Chelan is currently the only vessel in the Washington State Ferries (WSF) fleet that meets the SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) standards. Thus making it the only ship that can make the international crossing to Sidney, British Columbia.

In the afternoons Coleman enjoys being outdoors and often Pulls Up a Seat on our Home’s Porch railing which would scare his mom half to death if she was at Home. Luckily for him when he chooses to Pull Up a Seat like in the images below his mom is at work and NOT at Home. This week’s post is also being linked with Debbie’s Six Word Saturday and One Word Sunday Challenges.
