Prior to Memorial Day I was at the Wings of Freedom Tour and saw some very nice old war planes. This shiny Mustang has seen a lot but still took to the skies with a lucky passenger shortly after I took this.

This is just one example of the intricate headstones at the Granary Burying Ground in Boston. Old cemeteries such as this one, founded in 1660, have a completely different feel to them than modern cemeteries.

The Quadracci Pavilion of the Milwaukee Art Museum is simply breathtaking! This was an addition to the original museum and is certainly more noticeable than the rest of the structure. The 217 foot wide sunscreen you can see here opens and closes each day, or when the winds become too strong. I think it looks like a huge bird about to take off and fly over Lake Michigan.

I spent a long time standing in the rain to get this shot. There were plenty of hummingbirds zipping back and forth, but they were all so fast it was hard to stay focused on one long enough to get a few shots before it was gone. I like the way this one turned out, and the way the spot on the neck of the hummingbird matches the plants.
