Battle Creek Fields of Flight airshow

We spent the day watching the air show in Battle Creek. It was hot and mostly overcast. We did have some blue skies but mostly clouds. Just once I'd love to photograph an airshow and have nice blue skies.

Rainbows

There was an amazing rainbow over our house tonight. It was so bright and went all the way to the ground at both ends and there was a 2nd rainbow, just a little bigger and much lighter, that was like a shadow.

Washington DC - Arlington

We spent the last day of the trip at Arlington, it was really hot. Since it was Memorial Day the president shows up at the tomb of the unknowns so the place was pretty locked down, the shuttles were only running for that so we had to walk everywhere, did I mention it was hot. 

The view from JFK's grave site.

The view of the Lincoln Memorial looking across the river from Arlington.

It's impossible to walk around without being overwhelmed when you think about the amount of sacrifice each and every tombstone represents.

Tomb of the unknowns.
