Friday Photos: Heartfelt Veteran’s Day Ceremony
11 NovCharles Frazee, USMC, WW2, Pacific Theater
Over 100 veterans representing all branches of service
4th graders
Kindergarden-3rd graders
These beautiful students sang, recognized each veteran by name with a pin and card, and applauded. A slide show featured larger than life photos of each veteran. (Charles Frazee had five photos :). Each grade sang the song for the Army, Navy, AirForce, Marine Corp and Coast Guard. The first graders sang the Marine Corp Hymn. The fourth graders finished with “Anchors Away”. “Taps” was played to honor those who died in service.

My personal experience climbing trees does not involve a ladder. 🙂 It does for deer hunters.

Friday Photo: Eve, let’s read a book
14 OctLet’s read!
Our alcove with LED pot lights is “purrrfect” for reading “old-fashioned” books. Eve joined me in the adjacent chair for each chapter.
This week we read the old-fashioned format…paper, hard cover, jacket of Legends and Lies, The Patriots by David Fisher. We recommend reading this compelling history of the founding of the United States, especially in an election season. Our politics were messy then, as now.
Friday Photos: Old School
19 AugOld school…..decades of albums, prints (multiple sizes), boxes, negatives, framed….meets digital. This project is brought to you by my “27 cubic feet” reduction goal (of personal papers and stuff). Photo archives account for nearly 3 cubic feet.
- Sort 2. Scan 3. Save for others
Scan, scan, scan….also, rather than disposing of most of the vacation, birthday and holiday prints…I chose three albums to reconfigure with photos selected especially for three adult children. Perhaps that just stalls my effort or mission. My hope is it will bring smiles and fond memories…. without the hours of searching to find their precious moments. 😉

Delayed by rain and ground being too soft…
Friday Photos: I Ching No. 39 Difference and No. 40 Adversity
6 May“Difference” Prisoner labels, Dachau, Munich 2012
“Adversity” sculpture, Dachau, Munich 2012
Difference and Adversity are David Hinton’s translation. These photos are powerful images of humanity’s worse exploitation of differences and experience of adversity at Dachau concentration camp during WWII. In addition to starvation and torture, prisoners wore these symbols to ‘divide and conquer’ the population.
Hinton’s detailed translation emphasizes difference bringing ‘good fortune’ and adversity bringing acclaim. That calls for uplifting photos….next time…
