the random
Short beach on Saturday
I took a photograph and then used an app on my phone to "paint" it.
the good
the old coast guard station on this rather tiny island
Coast Guard often gets overlooked among the military forces
Here, we take them pretty seriously.
This building is on the National Treasure list. It was built in 1898. The Coast Guard gave it to the
town of Nahant when they stopped using it years ago. It's now used by the American Legion and
also for special events by the town and private functions.
It's a beautiful building
the fun
Saturday was almost 90 and the water was warm enough for swimming.
The beach had as many people as a mid summer's day
blankets spread, chairs at water's edge, colourful umbrellas,
American and armed service flags set up in the sand
It's always fun at the beach
37,000 American flags to honor those that fell for freedom
here in the United States
waving in the Boston Commons all Memorial Day weekend.
the photo on the top left has a yellow rose petal
which a loved one tossed on the ground
to honor their fallen soldier.
It was very moving.
Monday mellow yellow
Mosaic Monday

ReplyDeleteBeautiful post. Thank you for sharing the flags flying in Boston Common. Wonderful tribute.
ReplyDeleteA great tribute to the ones who fight for freedom! Lovely and bright captures:(
ReplyDeleteWelcome to link up to SEASONS this week -since we are sharing vacation views - these are beautiful! The link is open from Sunday through Wednesday 7pm, Pacific time. Hope to see you there! Have a lovely week, Jesh~
I like the paint effect used on your beach photo and it's nice to see the old coast guard station is used by a service group. The flags bring a lump to my throat...so many. Here in Ontario a Highway of Heroes is in the process with a tree being planted for each fallen Canadian soldier.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful thing to be able to have an application to paint an image, and yours are beautiful. I love all of the Memorial Day flags. God bless those who gave up their lives, that we might enjoy freedom~
