you find the most awesome photos. this is the first I have ever seen of snow on a cemetary and the flags make it special. really good photo and thanks for sharing it with us.
Hey, it was your job to take down the flags after Memorial Day. It is neat they are still there but rigid Iowans put them up at exactly the right time and they come down exactly the day after Memorial day. I like the photo, it is cool that they are at attention.
From the shores of New England to the Oregon coast, I would like to share some of the places that I've been and things that I've seen.
As we travel you may notice; there is an emphasis on Massachusetts...my home state, you will see a lot of barns...that I love, whether old, new or dilapidated, we are not traveling in any particular direction, and we may visit some places more than once.
Please enjoy my American Photo Journey and your comments are welcomed!

The photo in the title...
features the Far Away Farm in Ashfield, Massachusetts.
I was born in my grandmother's old mill house in Cornwall, England and came to the USA with my parents in 1958. My Dad was in the RAF and as a child I lived in many different locations in England and even the Rock of Gibraltar.
Massachusetts has always been home in the US except for a brief period when I resided in Idaho, giving me a chance to explore the Great American West. For nearly 30 years I lived on Cape Cod before my husband and I moved back to the mountains* of Massachusetts with our Goldendoodle Lucy, and our cats, Lilly and Molly. I am also the mother of a grown son.
*Some of you would call them hills but they're mountains to me!

Beautiful capture Sunny, like all the flags, do any get pinched ?
This place looks so peaceful and those flags created a wonderful contrast with all white snow, it's beautiful!

Great picture. Very peaceful.
A great picture you shared, but depressing as well. We never should forget.
Thanks for a very beautiful picture. I like all the elements -- sky, snow and flags.
Love seeing the flags beside the grave markers. That is so special...
Great picture--with the snow, the sky and clouds. WOW!!!
Hugs,

Seems sort of sad seeing those flags waving there in the cold. What a lonely place.
Now that is a striking photo, the flags against the white snow.
snapped to attention, indeed, they're practically stiff
Powerful picture Sunny...very powerful!!
A very beautiful and poignant image Sunny.
Very touching photo!

I love this.
It makes me remember my dad and what a proud man he was.
