It's Memorial Day in Washington, DC. Visited the Jefferson Memorial and got this shot. If you've never been to this memorial and haven't read the inscriptions there - do yourself a favor and make the trip. It will be a reminder that truly great men founded this country. There is hope that the idiots will fade and we'll get back to sanity around here,
Went looking for a nice sunrise yesterday morning but just ended up alone with my thoughts and some nice city reflections.
We think too small, like the frog at the bottom of the well. He thinks the sky is only as big as the top of the well. If he surfaced, he would have an entirely different view.

A solitary figure stands at the edge of the sea, holding a rainbow umbrella as waves roll endlessly toward the shore.
The contrast between the soft, muted tones of the sky and the vibrant colors of the umbrella turns a simple moment into a quiet statement of hope, resilience, and calm before the storm.
Sometimes, all it takes is a touch of color to face the vastness.
So, once again, I dip a little toe into the deep waters of the Flickr group (We’re Here) daily theme image creation. Today’s theme seemed a simple one although given recent activities South of the border, the temptation was there to get political. I resisted, plunked a styrofoam head on the table and steeled my nerve, then grabbed a small knife and thrust it into an unsuspecting banana. It did not end well for the banana (but it was a tasty one, although I did entertain a brief Hannibal Lector moment). A depiction of banana violence and a complete lack of a conscience. - JW
