Memorial Day - 2012

We come, not to mourn our dead soldiers, but to praise them. ~Francis A. Walker~

I found these colorful Kayaks in Walmart Parking Lot last Saturday morning.
Price list in the back window of the car, said 27.00, 29.00 and 39.00 per hour.
Come on Down and enjoy our waterways and beaches.

Wait, I did not mean that, our roads are way to crowded.  LOL

These are NOT photo shopped, that silly bird sat right there on the gazebo and let me walk up and pose with him. I was happy he did not poke me with that long beak.

And NO, I am NOT full of myself and posting my own photo's, This is just to prove I DID take those beach photos. Actually, I just saw these and wanted to.... Sorry Diane.....
