BLACK AND WHITE in Postcards 4

I’ve been participating in one of those games on Facebook. “Post seven black and white images, no people, no explanation, and challenge someone to do it too”…and I’ve been enjoying it a lot.

It amuses me how many friends remember some of the photographs so clearly. One friend looks forward to a shot of old Christmas ornaments in their crumbling cardboard box. “No explanation” and I cannot tell you the balls are variegated turquoise. I cannot tell you that I still use them every year we have a blue Christmas tree.

I saved a few various Armistice Day photos to share today. We near Veterans day….the 11th day, the eleventh hour…I always thought that was such a cruel thing. The boy scouts post flags. Now we say “Thank you for your service.” When they say that to me, I always want to tell them what a failure I was in the military. Instead I tell them thanks to the GI bill, I got eight years of college education. But I remain proud of those who care and who serve.

This is one of the black and white photos I didn’t show on Facebook.
