Walking down the wharf of Juneau I spotted this lovely bear and couldn't resist having my photo taken with him. Just as well I have a red coat on, so I sort of show up against his white fur!While in Juneau we visited the Russian Orthodox Church (St. Nicholas) which was constructed in 1894 to view the icons they have displayed inside which were brought to Alaska from Russia during the 19th century. I was surprised to find three icons I had seen fairly recently in a book someone had lent me. One day I hope to paint one or two of them!
