Have a Wonderful Memorial Day Weekend

Our Flag

There are many flags in many lands,
There are flags of every hue;
But there is no flag, however grand,
Like our own Red, White, and Blue.

Garden Cart

This garden cart is used the Lincoln Parks Department. Looks fun to drive, no?
It was parked at the Lincoln Children's Zoo.

Colorful Mural

I've wanted to take a picture of this mural for sometime, but there were always cars parked in front of it. Finally saw it with no cars....

Mellow Yellow

I posted the last couple of weeks in Mellow Yellow from my other blog, Nebraska Birding. Since I don't have anything for that blog that fits Mellow Yellow, and since I haven't done anything to promote this blog, and since I have a perfect photo for this blog for the meme...well here we are! (hows that for a run on sentence?)

This photo was taken on the campus of Nebraska Wellslyan University. There is no signage on it, so I have no information about the sculpture. I kind of like the lines and angles of it.

Sculpture at Sunken Gardens

About the sculpture

"Reveille,” created by retired surgeon Dr. Wayne Southwick, who now lives in Connecticut. The word “reveille” means “a signal to get up out of bed.” The name was chosen because the woman in the sculpture is modeled after his wife, Ann Seacrest Southwick, getting their children out of bed. “Reveille” depicts a life-sized angel blowing a trumpet and was cast in Italy. Dr. Southwick originally is from Friend, Nebraska, and is a graduate of the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Ann’s grandfather, J.C. Seacrest, was instrumental in donating the area to the City in the 1930s to create the Sunken Gardens. Dr. Southwick also has work displayed at Yale University, the Museum of Nebraska Art in Kearney and First Congregational Church of Old Lyme, Connecticut.

Oh-La-La, A 1956 Thunderbird

After my short visit to Holmes Lake yesterday morning I proceeded to the library. Parked in an out of the way spot was this beauty. It's a 1956 T-bird. The 1956 model is the only model of the series from 1955 to 1957 that had the spare tire mounted outside. There were only 15,631 T-birds produced in 1956.

Holmes Lake

Imagine the dee-dee-dee of a killdeer, the occasional muffled quack of a mallard drake, a slight breeze, and temps in the low 60's, and you are where I was this morning when I took this photo.
