It's only been a week but I"m already feeling nostalgic about the friendly, peaceful crowd, their creative signs, and the spirit of hope, that persists, despite the overlay of dread that dampens the current political climate.
While it may not be a long wait until the next chance to turn out for democracy, I'm taking the time this week to post a sampling of photos I took at the rally last Saturday. I chose the one in Bethesda, mainly because I'm a graduate of B-CC and regard it as one of my several hometowns.*, When I arrived, I found a very large and lively crowd, "singin' songs and a-carryin' signs"-- as the great Buffalo Springfield so tunefully put it. (More nostalgia but for a long-ago time.)
Due to the limits on the display of images in a single Listserv message, I've posted the maximum four in this column, and then links to another nine that can be found in the Listserv album: "Rally For..."
"Fight Truth Decay"
"No kings in America since 1776"
"A republic if you can keep it"
"What this rally needs is MORE COWBELL!"
More pix available in the "Rally For..." album, including these:
"He has kept among us in times of peace standing armies..." -Quote from the Declaration of Independence
No kings but long live the QUEENS (with little girl plugging her ears to shut out loud car honks of approval)
Here's a reminder that all Listserv photo albums are open for members to add their photos. The instructions are in Message #224008

* The others are: Atlanta, GA; New York, NY; and of course, Cleveland Park, DC.

Still Life with Robin is posted on the Cleveland Park Listserv and on All Life Is Local on Saturdays.
