I hope everyone had a good Saturday. I had a pretty good one, chilled out, went tanning, went for a walk and enjoyed the weather, spent minimum time on official work, the rest of the time on “work” was stuff for me….like pictures from my walk. =)
Fashioning A Memorial Of Art And Stone
Ray “Bubba” Sorensen was only 19 years old when he first saw the movie “Saving Private Ryan,” and decided that patriotism was at an all-time low.
“People think Memorial Day is just a three-day weekend,” said Sorensen. “I decided to go out there and paint the rock to say ‘thank you’ to the soldiers for their freedom and flag-raising.”
Three years ago, a group of veterans on their way to the Vietnam Wall Memorial dropped by the site in Adair County and asked to sprinkle ashes there.
Sorensen offered to incorporate them into the paint so that they wouldn’t blow away. Everything happened so quickly that he never even got the names of the eight veterans whose ashes now reside underneath his 2005 painting of a helicopter.
**I love the fact something that was made by one person, not by someone giving lip service. That is inspiring.
Harold saw how Reggie was sleeping and just had to get a picture. Of course, now that he was out of bed Alexis felt that it was time for me to get up….grin
Little Blue Birdie
I love how colorful and green it is around here.
I just had to get a picture of these….grin
We had a storm moving in today and it hit tonight, but until it did it made for some beautiful pictures. I’ve always loved the sky, it is always changing and gives striking contrasts with the blues and whites.
