I did recognize the red-tailed hawk as we have those around here, but you sure come across some strange looking ones.<br />My father was also exempt from serving in WW 2 because of his job, but I am kinda glad for that because otherwise I would not be here. But God bless those who did and do serve our country in that way!Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05627362326166805915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-66997783483657911112011-12-08T09:19:51.168-06:002011-12-08T09:19:51.168-06:00such a well=written and illustrated blog you do, J...such a well=written and illustrated blog you do, Judy.<br /><br />Thank youGeorge & Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781167543303198930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-37978984709097947402011-12-08T08:52:39.074-06:002011-12-08T08:52:39.074-06:00Great pics, especially of the cattle egrets and th...Great pics, especially of the cattle egrets and the hawk.<br />Wonderful memory of your dad!Happytrailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604892750805362197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-9190632206925303602011-12-08T08:30:55.796-06:002011-12-08T08:30:55.796-06:00Great photos as always and thanks for sharing your...Great photos as always and thanks for sharing your memory- nice.Catherine, Jo Beth and Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06889362286725037937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-61486438718853784002011-12-08T08:01:02.694-06:002011-12-08T08:01:02.694-06:00Thank you for the verse about Pearl Harbor Day..

We just had to see the Pearl Harbour memorial. It is a deeply moving place, very sombre and I felt like crying. So sad to think of all those men still down there. When you see the pictures of that day and then see it now it's hard to imagine the horror of that day.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838311859054693066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-83119025927967541492011-12-08T06:25:16.455-06:002011-12-08T06:25:16.455-06:00Your photos are always very good and interesting t...Your photos are always very good and interesting to me, but today the memory of your father was even better!<br /><br />John<br /><a href="http://connectedtothevinephotography.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">connectedtothevinephotography.blogspot.com</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126827057034325406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-51136586694840558942011-12-08T05:44:00.076-06:002011-12-08T05:44:00.076-06:00Very nice tribute ... thanks for sharing.Very nice tribute ... thanks for sharing.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08333995679958103393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-71669465495604912472011-12-07T23:06:01.492-06:002011-12-07T23:06:01.492-06:00My Dad was crippled as a result of childhood polio...My Dad was crippled as a result of childhood polio and so was unable to serve.

He was in the entire time and it took a real toll on him. He said he never understood why men wanted to relive it with each other.<br /><br />My mother always laughed and said that the real bomb wasn't in 1941.....it was when I was born on December 7th some years later. Now I recognize it as the joke it was but I clearly remember being very embarrassed whenever anyone asked me when my birthday was for fear this is what she would say.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-84168128590256121012011-12-07T20:49:31.102-06:002011-12-07T20:49:31.102-06:00Yes, wonderful bird photos, as usual.
