Since I inadvertently posted my Friday flowers post on Friday New Zealand time, I’ll take this opportunity to share a wonderful Veteran’s Day display, the Healing Field of Honor, in Naperville. I was fortunate because, due to the weather, the flags weren’t taken down the day after Veteran’s Day and now I can share it with you as well.
This, that and the other thing 
Wow that is amazing!
It is and I’m so glad I got to see it.

You are so fortunate
A lot of work went into this respectful display so I’m glad it got to be up another day.
I am, too. I believe that the families pick up the flags afterwards.
Such a touching tribute and how wonderful you shared it with us.
Thanks, Ruth, I’m glad you liked it.

That’s awesome, and a wonderful tribute to them!
I thought so, too Deborah.
Thanks for sharing this!
I’m happy I had the chance to share it.
Beautiful, moving shots Janet. In NZ we’ve recently begun creating annual fields of remembrance with white crosses, adorned with poppies, but the flags are somehow more powerful.
I’m sure your are quite moving as well, Su. Just seeing all the graves in Normandy was somber enough.
They are very moving. And flags wouldn’t seem right here where ours has a much less central place on our sense of nationhood.
Stunning photos, Janet. Not only are the sun, snow and flags a beautiful composition, but of course, moreso, it’s a great, albeit sorrowful, reminder of the many, many lives lost in war.
And just those lives from one small area. 😦
Very moving to see these many flags up on the ground! Great photos, Janet!
Thanks, Amy. It’s one of those things that goes to your heart.
Absolutely stunning! ❤
If the photos convey a portion of how lovely and moving it was, I’m happy.

Beautiful! The narrow angle on the middle shot makes the field of flags looks much more populated, doesn’t it? Great effect.
The panorama let me show a good portion of the flags, but there were quite a few more. 🙂
These are moving shots.
Thanks. I thought so, too.
