Happy Father’s Day to John Henry Arrington Sr. and John Henry Arrington Jr.
Yellow seemed an appropriate color to celebrate this father’s day. This is my first in 43 years without my mine. I pray that my daughter will have me in her life as long as I had John Henry Jr. in my life.
A it’s ‘WILD TURKEY!”, originally uploaded by marrngtn (Manuel).Driving in this morning I saw this thing sitting on the road as I
drove past. As I passed I said “Hey thats a Wild Turkey!” I
made the U and went back to take a shot with the point and shoot. It
flew off just after I got this shot. I guess its probably use to be
shot at with guns not cameras.

Remembering those that served and those that have gone on is so important. The history of knowing how you came to be and those whose shoulders you stand on is priceless.
Memorial day just isn’t for sales and hot dogs, the lives that have been lost protecting freedom are too costly to trivialize. There may never be another generation that was willing to pay as much as the generation that fought in WW II.

While waiting for a train at Columbia Heights I took this shot. I really liked how the shot looked with the gentlemen sitting on the bench.
After looking at the Official White Photostream on Flickr this morning, the picture of President Obama’s Signature struck me. I thought back the last words my dad wrote to me and how much he thought of candidate Obama in 2008. Sadly he passed never having a chance to cast his ballot. He was short 32 days of exercising his right as an American Citizen.
So, I thought why not use a few of the pieces licensed under CC License to create a derivative work and honor both of these men.
Thanks to White House for Posting these great shots.
