I have seen - and taken - better shots - just not this trip, and not with something digital to share. So this shot is one to learn from....

Dan, there's something about that second picture: the tourist in his shorts, wearing white gloves and cradling the flag in his arms with something that I can only describe as tenderness and love. One picture, a thousand words. Great, great moment.

You poor thing, I hope your front porch doesn't look like that EVERY day! That's one mean-looking icicle!!!

haha I'm so witty! ​

I found a couple more patriotic photos in the archives of my photo blog that I thought I would share.

I have to locate my Disney flag pictures. Last January we did the “Keys to the Kingdom” tour and I found out that most of the flags are technically considered banners as they do not have the proper number of Stars and Stripes. This is mainly done so they do not have to take the flags/banners down every night. I had noticed that the flag top of the candy shop only had 48 stars.

Here are some flag photos from the local veteran’s cemetery from this past Memorial Day. I found this to be a very moving experience.
