A Red Poppy photo to honor our Military who gave all.

 

I like the larger version as you can see more detail. Thanks for looking.

feedback welcome

We're in the same mindset this weekend. Thank you for sharing this beautiful rememberance, Regina.

I think we're all there, Linda. This is gorgeous, Regina ... thank you for the Memorial. I'm off to play in a couple of concerts honoring those who have defended our country....

Glad we are all thinking alike and doing our part in the rememberance. Thanks for the kind words on the photo. hugs all around!

This weekend we all have special thoughts and thanks for all that serve!

Is it the image size? More depth needed in the foreground...

Nice vibrant colors!

Great lighting, detail, and colors! Nice composition, Regina.

Very good this shot!!!!

I like it very much. On this day I memorialize all innocent victims of war (of course including soldiers, who are typically little more than kids), and even those fallen of the "enemy." "Patriot" comes from _patria_ for "fatherland," but I have one Father, and we are all His children, and thus all brothers and sisters, and I wish that we would stop killing one another.

 

Even so, let us remember the soldiers, yes, not to mention people like my father, who died five years ago of asbestosis from fire-proofing ships in Charleston Naval Shipyard throughout WWII, and his brother, my Uncle Henry Kelly, who died one day before I was born, and just days before the war in Europe ended, on some field near Nuremburg, Germany, under the command of General George S. Patton. His body lies in a field in eastern France. I have always considered him my guardian angel, and I think that he has been telling me of war, "Don't go that way!"

 

Sorry if that offends anyone, but that's just the way I believe, and so I have to celebrate Memorial Day in my own way.

 

Beautiful picture, Regina.

So very pretty Regina! Hard to beat a field of God's creations.

GREAT DOF!
