Angesichts des (m.E. beschämenden) Umstandes, dass nur 16 % der Deutschen bereit wären im Ernstfall unsere Werte, Recht und Freiheit auch mit der Waffe zu verteidigen, finde ich es immer wieder erstaunlich, wieviele Amerikaner, Briten, Franzosen dies im 2. Weltkrieg taten, letztlich auch für unsere Freiheit heute.

Hier am Utah Beach (wie auch am nahen Omaha Beach) in der Normandie, starben einst Zehntausende für unsere Freiheit. Obwohl die Spuren von damals allgegenwärtig sind (Bunker, Schiffswracks, Stacheldraht), ist es hier heute sehr friedlich und sehr schön: Strände von schier unendlicher Weite, grasbewachsene Dünen, überall Muscheln, ab und an Pferde, Reiter, Sulkys.

Given the (in my view, shameful) fact that only 16% of Germans would be willing to defend our values, the rule of law, and our freedom—even with arms—if the need arose, I find it consistently astonishing how many Americans, Britons, and Frenchmen did exactly that during World War II, ultimately securing the freedom we enjoy today.

Here at Utah Beach (as well as at nearby Omaha Beach) in Normandy, tens of thousands once died for our freedom. Although traces of that era remain omnipresent—bunkers, shipwrecks, barbed wire—the atmosphere here today is one of great peace and beauty: beaches of seemingly endless expanse, grass-covered dunes, seashells everywhere, and the occasional horse, rider, or sulky.

Shot for the "Buttons and Bows" Macro Mondays theme, HMM,

After Mother Nature hit the reset. button and cleared the snow, she dropped a little of the heavy, wet, fluffy stuff. It's like the set of a movie. It looks sprayed on and perfect.

For "Macro Mondays" - theme : "Circles".

A nice button for Macro Monday.

A nice sized Button...on cherry. I feel it had been parasitized.

A button in a green cotton shirt sewn on with orange cotton with a piece of stray grey cotton behind.

The porcelain button depicts a Cattelya orchid. It was made by the Toshikane Company in Japan, probably in the 1950s to early 1960s, and it's unused. Behind it is a miniature coffee pot and mug (there are 2 in the set) made by Wedgwood, which I was lucky enough to spot in the window of a local charity shop. This one's a bit different for me. I don't usually do black. :)
