11 / 11 snow storm

Today was Remembrance day here in Canada. It is a day that part of the country has the day off to pay respect to the fallen war hero's. In my part of the country however I had to work instead. We also got an early surprise from old man winter with a snowstorm. So I fittingly to a shot of a poppy in the freshly fallen snow.

In Flanders Fields

John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders Fields.
