Weekend Reflections - Borrowed #2

More of Dan's photos from the St. Louis Lantern Festival.  I sure wish I had been there - but having his photos has been the next best thing!


This dragon was made with plates, salt & pepper shakers and platters!  But that is a story for another day!

Fire in the Sky!

Dan took this photo while attending the Lantern Festival in St. Louis in July.  The heat there was absolutely scorching, and I thought the clouds looked like fire - he said it certainly felt like it!

Ruby Tuesday

This sign hangs in the National Museum of the Marine Corps at Quantico, VA outside the dining area at the museum.  It commemorates the birth of the Marine Corps on November 10, 1775 at Tun Tavern, Philadelphia, PA.  A committee of the Continental Congress met at the Tavern and drafted a resolution for two battalions  of Marines who could fight for independence on sea and on shore.

SOOC Sunday

This has been a strange week - not much photography going on.  I have posted a full account of the week over on my other blog, The Road Awaits.  These shots were from my Sunday afternoon walk at the beach.
Not a pine tree in sight on the beach!  Wonder how this got here!
Afternoon sun, highlighting the flowers on the dunes.  I am not sure what these are, but they pepper the sand dunes.
This one I know - honeysuckle!  It smelled so sweet as we walked to the bay side of the beach.  I always think of my childhood - pulling the flowers and sucking the nectar from the honeysuckle.  It's a wonder we never got a bee!

Afternoon Skywatch

On my other blog, The Road Awaits, I posted photos of the fences we saw at Sandbridge on Sunday afternoon.  I reserved the sky shots for Skywatch Friday (linking here).

Love the golden glow above the dunes...and the pelican flying.
The golden glow quickly turned pink...
Off to the south, the clouds were towering!
Competing birds in flight...
Farewell, colorful evening sky!
