I snapped a few shots of this flag a few months ago, when we bought our pick-up truck. It was a brilliant spring day with not a cloud in the sky and a little breeze, both rare qualities to be found in St. Louis. The huge flag above the dealership kept snapping in the wind, just begging for me to take its picture (good thing I carry a camera in my purse).
If you'll indulge me to switch days - this was Christmas a few years ago. I made a quilt for my mom who collects americana. I was digging through my scrap stash putting together another fence post quilt when the red white and blue just sort of came together. I went out and bought various blue fabrics with stars to properly finish the squares.
And this is Sunday in my city and all of the cities around the USA, proudly displaying our flag, Old Glory, celebrating our national independence 234 years ago.
