veterans day {november 11, 2021}

A fiery sunrise provides the opening act to this November 11. This reminds me of the saying, "Red sky in the morning, sailors' warning; Red sky at night, sailors' delight."

Today is Veterans Day. Veterans Day, originally known as Armistice Day, is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans of the US Armed Forces. It coincides with other holidays including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day which are celebrated in other countries that mark the anniversary of the end of World War I. Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. At the urging of major U.S. veteran organizations, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.

Another tree photo. Day by day, little the trees drop their leaves.

Autumn leaves shower like gold, like rainbows,

as the winds of change begin to blow.
