Milkweed Pod
Milkweed Pod The old walkabout path had sparse photo pickings this evening. This lonely Milkweed Pod caught my eye.

Milkweed in B&W Sometimes, even flowers and weeds look good in black & white.

Milkweed My walkabouts are beginning to feel more like fall; fewer birds, more rabbits, less sunlight but nicer light. Soon, they will be a walk in the dark.

It’s Fall! Milkweeds tell the story; it’s fall. Hope the Monarchs like it.

Milkweed flowering along the walkabout tonight provided the only color, other than green, on the walk.

7 Dec 2014 Walkabout The morning of 7 Dec 1941 was as quiet as any Sunday in northern Illinois. But, in the afternoon, my future father was called back to the airfield at Langley Field, VA were he worked all night to prepare the B-26 bombers to depart the following day. Then, at 0700 on 8 Dec 1941, less than 18 hours after the first bombs dropped on Pearl Harbor, the 22nd Bomb Group, the Red Raiders, took off from Langley Field headed for Muroc, CA to fly shore patrol. My father was a crew chief on one of those B-26s in the 33rd squadron. From Muroc, they boarded the airplanes and flight crews onto ships and sailed to Oahu. At Hickam Field, they reassembled the planes and island hopped to Australia.
The 22nd BG was one of the first units to take offensive action against the enemy. From from bases in northern Australia, they flew bomb missions without fighter escort against Japanese bases and shipping around New Guinea and the surrounding waters. As the war continued, they island hopped toward Japan while also moving from B-26s to B-25s to B-24s bombers.

Weed Form But another B&W image; sometimes an images just cries to be B&W. Even my local walkabout yields an unusual image occasionally.
