The joy of waking to this view each morning is just so wonderful. Even if the camera sees all the distortions from the window screen, I easily ignore them. Many of these green trees stand near or by the Animas River which flows through the town.

If you have/had a veteran in your family...
Or family of one. This is the Veterans Cemetery in Black Mountain NC.
These people were looking for a headstone, and carrying a bouquet of flowers.
My father was a WWII veteran. He raised four kids who turned out to be anti-war pacifists. He was proud of our passion for peace. Still we honor those who served.
Dad was an Army chaplain in WWII serving in the Pacific. He volunteered even though he was married with 2 kids and 1 on the way. I liked seeing President Biden and his wife putting wreaths at the WWII memorial yesterday. He has so much more class than our previous WH occupant.
Barbara, Wow! Shingles backed up with pneumonia! Egads! Hopefully, you'll soon be clear of all ailments. My dad was killed in Czechoslovakia on May 6, 1945 and he's buried in France. My second biggest charity is the Wounded Warrior Project...right after our area's food bank. While I agree that war isn't the answer to the world's problems...sadly it isn't going to go away. Reality bites! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
Such a waste of young lives.
ReplyDelete...war never solves problems.
