I really like your photo which at first appeared like a poppy on a lapel, but then close up it looks more like a basket ball but wrong color...care to share what it is! Besides interesting!21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-73696427987970507712010-11-12T00:01:32.904-05:002010-11-12T00:01:32.904-05:00I think your overwhelmed blackberry did a fine job...I think your overwhelmed blackberry did a fine job.

It's always been a powerful icon of the 11th, a tangible reminder of our need to understand that our modern-day freedom wasn't just handed to us. Rather, it was earned with blood and loss.<br /><br />I snagged this one early this morning. This is the poppy I've been wearing on my camera bag and my lapel (I wore it on TV here just this week: http://watch.ctv.ca/news/#clip372953). This morning, after I dropped the munchkins off at school, I popped it onto my dashboard and took a closeup pic with my obviously overwhelmed-by-the-sun BlackBerry.<br /><br />Sometimes, simple is best.carmilevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360045114379957605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-63738841391787955572010-11-11T18:45:30.765-05:002010-11-11T18:45:30.765-05:00Here in New Zealand we tend to remembe Anzac Day (...Here in New Zealand we tend to remembe Anzac Day (April 25, a public holiday) more than Armistice Day.
