I don't have any appropriate Memorial Day themed photos, so here's something contemplative.  Sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean.

Atlantic Sunrise

I like water.  Not just for drinking but as a medium for photography.  Not just reflections in water (although those are fun).  Shooting through water can give all sorts of interesting effects.    This was taken at Lake Calhoun.  I try shots like this whenever I'm there and never know what will result.  Sometimes the waves or ripples can provide distortion.  In this case, they cause light to fall in bands.

On the Rocks

I think I can now safely say that it is Spring.  It took longer and more effort than it should to get there, but there we are.

Spring is a time of rebirth.  For me, this comes in the preponderance of flowers wherever you look.  Here are some from the Arboretum a couple years ago.
