Amber Waves of Grain [20936 Details & Macro ]
Uploaded: November 11, 2005 01:48:13
A few blades of grain dance gently in the late afternoon sunlight.
As a proud Veteran, I'd like to remind all BP members in the US to shake a vet's hand today and thank them for their efforts in keeping this great country "the land of the free and home of the brave"! Happy Veteran's DAy to all the vets, past and present!

Great DOF here, Don. Happy Veterans Day to you and all the other veterans today! I was with a gentleman who landed on the beach at Normandy 61 years ago. The stories are captivating and sad as well. #2061739Carolyn J. Connolly November 11, 2005
