Memorial Day Sky

A mixed sky of cumulus and cirrus clouds accentuate a colorful line of Memorial Day American flags situated along Baldwin Avenue at Laurel Hill Cemetery in Des Moines, Iowa around 12:35 PM, Monday, May 30, 2011. The day's weather in Central Iowa saw gusty winds with temperatures in the middle 80s. The state of Iowa was largely spared of any severe weather on this day--most of it was confined to the west in Nebraska. This view looks northeast.
