May 25 Memorial Day


May 25 Memorial Day

Earlier today we marched to this spot with the Cub Scouts (My daughter marched with the Marching Band) for a Memorial Ceremony. We couldn't have asked for a better day, the weather was beautiful. Our town has a bunch of American Flags on wooden poles that are placed in holes in the sidewalk in town. It is really quite striking. I waited until sunset to go out to get a shot of the street with all the flags, perhaps get part of the memorial in frame. When I got into town, I'd realized that all the flags had been put away. These flags were still at the memorial, in fact, just as I finished with my shooting, someone from the American Legion came and put them away. We chatted about our military experience for a little while though. I set out on a 15 minute 'mission' and returned 45 minutes later. . .
