MEMORIAL DAY

Here are some pictures I shot of the Veterans' Memorial display that is placed each year in Central Park. There are more than 3,000 crosses and markers placed in the park by volunteers. Each and every cross has the full name of the deceased veteran. There are three permanent large stone markers in the park as well. There is one marker near the side walk for the "UNKNOWN SOLDIER" right in front of the yellow flowers. Not all the markers are crosses, in deference to other faiths. If you enlarge the pictures you will see them better.

A visitor here on business said he had never seen such an tribute to veterans before an took pictures to take home with him.

There are a couple shots of a storm that blew in with copious rain and wind. It lasted about 10 minutes. It was a real gully washer while it lasted.

As I was driving the smell of the sewer drains were calling out for a good rain. The only problems is it is always fast and furious, but it does help clear the sewers and the odor.

I didn't work in the garden today. I did work in the garden for a good two hours yesterday in spite of it being Sunday only to notice that all the weeds I pulled returned in abundance.
