Looking back...

This past Memorial Day I took Devon to the town parade and honored our veterans.


Families and friends lined the main thoroughfare to cheer at the procession.


The weather was beautiful and the patriotism rang loudly.


Our future protectors were on hand and in formation.


The pipes were played...


...and the drums were pounded.


Our veterans marched...


...they marched proudly and remembered those left behind. They remembered their fallen brothers and sisters.


They honor and defend our nation; promise to serve for its betterment...


...and protect those that can't protect themselves.


Our veterans deserve more than one day a year. When you see one shake their hand and thank them for all they have given and all they have done for you. God bless them all.

WIIF? #119

Jason snowed you all over last week!

Here is What Is It Friday? #119



When I said I would "step it up" I meant the game was going to get harder. Not so much for Tatman though! Good job!



The fine print: On Fridays I will post an image in hopes that visitors will leave a guess in the comment section. The following Friday (or when someone guesses correctly) I will post a wide shot of the item. Each Friday a NEW image, along with a link to the previous weeks post, will be posted.

Trip on a log...

While looking at some firewood in my yard I noticed some bugs traveling along and around the logs. There were two different bugs (one black and one red) but they were both just millimeters in size. Sometimes you really have to just sit and observe to see something that is ordinarily right under your nose.







The red bug reminds me of a cicada... only on an itty bitty scale.

To kiss that which kisses back...

Missed it by "that much"!


That's more like it :)

Missing ewe...

Two takes on the same subject. I like both the subtle tones of the color shot as well as the classic look of the black & white. Be sure to click the second image for a full sized desktop version.

Red tailed and full of attitude...

I knew immediately that this bird had attitude...
"Yeah, right back at 'cha buddy!"


I wonder what ruffled her feathers...




She took to the sky...


Did a fly-by...


Posed for a shot...


Then searched elsewhere for a meal.

WIIF? #118

Tatman MacGuyvered his way to a win with nothing more that a toothpick, tweezers and a little ingenuity.

Here is What Is It Friday? #118



Jason blew away this off season "WIIF?". My neighbor found this vintage thrower in someones garbage and resurrected it. They don't build 'em like this anymore.



The fine print: On Fridays I will post an image in hopes that visitors will leave a guess in the comment section. The following Friday (or when someone guesses correctly) I will post a wide shot of the item. Each Friday a NEW image, along with a link to the previous weeks post, will be posted.
