I'm sure you've noticed that I'm not too into black and white, but I couldn't resist changing a couple of these.
The day was so bright and her shades of green so varied I think the b&w shows the features better.
To the mothers of the nation. . .
She moved me to tears, I thought of all the mothers praying for the safety of their children, our soldiers.
One of the most exciting things, to me, while traveling through Pennsylvania, is going through the tunnels. Yeah, I know I need to get a life. Lol
There’s another one! (Right before we entered this one a semi had a blow out - very loud! - scared the be-jeebers out of us!)
Here we go again!
Weeeeeeee!
Hey, I know these aren't the best - you try focusing while going 60-70mph!
After touring downtown Philly we stopped at Valley Forge. We didn’t have time to walk the place, although it looks like fun to do, but we did take the time to drive it and stop at a few sights.
Some of the old soldier’s quarters.
Sometimes I think it would be nice to go back to simpler times and log homes, but I think I would miss my internet and cell phone.
So much to see! So much history!
The handles I shared yesterday are on some doors here.
Memorials everywhere.
The backside of things.
And one of the rows of cannons.
Open
Close
Wouldn’t you just love to have one of these on every door in your house?! Imagine how costly that would be! Is the devil in the details - even in a church?
Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. Don't forget to visit each other. :)
{I'm still in Missouri - basically NO internet, short trips to Hardees to take care of business needs - just not enough time to play right now. :( I MISS YOU guys! I'll be home Sunday and running around trying to catch up with you!}
Walking toward the Philadelphia Museum.
So many things to see.
Each for himself, gathered up the cherished purposes of life, its aims and ambitions, its dearest affections, and flung all, with life itself, into the scale of battle.
My husband is from Honduras - this is the first time I've seen the Honduran flag.
Yet, another, nice fountain. This one sits in front of the museum.
Do you think I like puddle reflections? :0) Yep, you're right! I do! you should have seen me trying to get myself in the proper position to attain this one!
Finally made it up all the steps and found the museum locked. It's ok though, we had limited time anyway.
We saw the Rocky statue, and I had the opportunity to snap a photo of a lady snapping a photo of a man pretending to be Rocky. Which, from what we hear, happens many times each day.
There was an exercise class going on. Wouldn't you love to be a part of it?!
I bet these ladies have great bums!
