Mr. Breasted knew, I wonder what he would think today ~
That is a good question. I’m amazed you know who he is. I had no clue. 🙂
Not only is that a great photo, but that’s quite the selection of books in the background!
Isn’t that a great collection? I keep saying I’m going to read them, but never get around to it. Thanks Jerry.
Wow, wonderful shot!!!
Thank you so much Rexlin. You really are too kind.
Really a great shot and quote too… 🙂
Thanks Drake ! Would you believe some of my ancestors are listed in the Burke’s Peerage?
Well said!

Beautiful, makes my heart sing.
Thank you so much for your kind comment Jo.

Thanks Phil ! I wasn’t sure if people would like this one, it’s a little out of the box. So glad you liked it!
Great photo! I love the many layers in this as well as the awesome bookends!
Thank you so much Tricia ! I needed to work more with the background, and perhaps dust a little. 🙂 did you happen to notice the cobweb?
Love these books! 🙂 🙂
Thanks Maggie. That is my family’s bible, and some of my ancestors are listed in the Burke’s peerage.
So cool! 🙂 🙂
