Happy Memorial Day.
The scout photos are my favorites.
Happy Memorial Day!
I like the idea of travelling on that retro bus.
Thanks for reminding me that it's Memorial Day where you are !
A timely post. I've sung the National Anthem at a few Memorial Day gatherings. Some people find it difficult to sing, but I love its dramatic vocal range, the words, and the emotionality of it. America The Beautiful is a lovely hymn, but I hope our National Anthem is never changed to it as some have suggested.
Excellent reminder...lest we forget those who paid the price for our freedoms!
Fine choice of images. For a while I had also considered going for a Memorial Day post for this weekend's challenging theme.
Does anyone think the Boy Scout looks a lot like Opie from Mayberry in the Andy Griffith Show?
Karen, wonderful Memorial Day images. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you have a good holiday!

Superb B&W shots!
Have a Great Week, Karen!!
