MD Celebrates Graduates + Residents Wave American Flags: Photos Of Week

MARYLAND — Congratulations, Maryland graduates! Here are some of our favorite photos from commencements and other spring events.

Lakeisha Tutt submitted the first picture. Tutt congratulated Shania R., who just graduated from Anne Arundel Community College.

Pam Woodruff Faringer sent us this shot of the Blue Angels flying over Annapolis during Commissioning Week at the U.S. Naval Academy.

The Naval Academy graduation rolled right into Memorial Day. Toni Thornton snapped this photo of residents waving American flags on the South River Bridge on the holiday.

In other springtime news, Ajmal Hotaki captured this picture of a bright purple flower.

Ebonie Valentin rounded out this week's gallery with another graduation flick. This photo shows her daughter, Aja, and her friend, Emily, graduating from Towson University. Doc the Tiger also hopped in their shot.

That's all for this week's round-up. Keep an eye out for next week's gallery.
