When I was coming back into my neighborhood after running an errand earlier today, I realized how blessed I am to live in a town that acknowledges Memorial Day with public displays. There were rows of flags in the ground leading into my neighborhood and again on a corner near the entrance. I thought it was a nice opportunity to pull out my camera and practice. This is one of my favorite shots. Although it wasn’t entirely planned, I thought it was nice when my daughter wandered into the frame to hunt for acorns on the sidewalk.
When I came home and started to play with it, I upped the contrast to 51 and cropped it a little bit.
Happy Memorial Day!
Oh wow. Love the composition. So much emotion in it. And little kids squatting always make my heart melt (my toddler does this all the time:)
What a wonderful tribute to today.

The mist in the background trees is great. Makes me kinda tear up with patriotic pride to see all those flags lining the walk. Dang, you are good!

This is a terrific photo! Do you know of any photo contests you could enter it into? You’ve got a good eye!
