About Town 5/24/2020

This week's photos of Columbia

As if in observance of Memorial Day, this bird bows his head atop the angel at Mount Bethel Cemetery.

 Then offers up a song

"The Returned Soldier" reminds us to observe Memorial Day.
(Columbia Spy posted the backstory of this statue HERE.)

Seemingly, this is the goal.

Not always a good mix

It would be great to somehow leave a comment below individual pictures. Most are awesome.

Garden tour is a simple walking tour. It can be accomplished with common sense, social distancing, precautions. Heck there are more people on the trail each day that will be on this tour. Actually a lot of events could be accomplished through common sense precautions. As we learn more about the virus it certainly seems manageable and we definitely can't wait for a vaccine.
