Remembering the Fallen



Pictures of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan are carried each year in the Memorial Day Parade in Ferndale.

(I took a bunch of pictures at this parade, so I'm going to upload them over the next few weeks, here and there.)

Inside Hong Kong One. The food is good, and it's always fast.

Church



The Drayton Avenue Presbyterian Church. (I wish I had gotten a picture without the phone wires. Well, the whole point of this is to learn to take better pictures, right?)

Guardian Robot



This morning I'm enjoying a scone from the Pinwheel Bakery on Nine Mile. Voted "Best in Oakland County," Pinwheel has the most amazing scones. I noticed this winged guy over the cash register and couldn't resist a picture. The lady behind the counter called him "my guardian robot."

May Flowers



This bush was covered with these flowers.

(I have taken a lot of pictures of flowers. And while the gardens are one of my favorite things about my hometown, I will try to get some other images so this doesn't become a "flowers of Ferndale" blog.")
