Blue and green

We went to the Air Force Academy parade on Friday. I had seen a USAFA parade before (in April, the last time I was here), but that one was smaller and held in an area called "the terrazo". This one was on the parade field. I loved seeing the blue of the uniforms against the green of the grass. Then, when the cadets saluted, the white of their gloves was added to the image. The flags added a few extra splashes of yellow, red, and gray. Finally, the band instruments provided flashes of silver, with light reflecting from the polished surfaces. It was a visual feast! Here are some photos so you can see what I mean.











After the parade, the family members were allowed on to the parade field to find their cadet. That was a mix of many colors!
