Memorial Day in the US

Memorial Day in the United States, always on the last Monday in May, is a day to honor and remember those who died serving in war.  Sometimes Americans forget this and say “Happy Memorial Day”.  Others confuse it for Veterans Day.

We must remember those who died on the battlefield, and remember the suffering of their families.

This image was taken at Radford’s Annual Memorial Day Program.

2018 was our 20th annual program.

TJ and the Galaxy 9

While visiting the University of Virginia’s College at Wise (UVA-Wise), I was caught without my camera.  I did however have my new Galaxy 9 and without knowing anything about the phone or it’s camera settings, snapped this image of a sculpture of Thomas Jefferson.

As I walked through Sydney, I was overwhelmed by the beauty of these large, mature trees.  They were everywhere!

After 5 weeks of scheduled posts, I’m back from an incredible trip to New Zealand and Australia and will be posting more currently.  I’ve been sharing that journey in several posts on Life on the Bike.  So many photos / so many blog posts.  Pop on over if you have a minute, and know that I look forward to catching up on all of your blog posts, too.
