Ruby Tuesday: Waving In The Wind

I took this shot months ago. I heard the flag before I saw it. I love that whipping sound that a flag makes in a strong wind.



And the sky was so beautiful.

Mary mentioned that today is flag day so it seemed a good time to share the shot.

I'm not much of a flag waver - especially since displaying the flag has been hijacked by crazies like the Tea Party.

But that's a story for another day on my other blog.

Peace

RUBY TUESDAY

Great shot of a beauty .. another grand old broad

Ralph said...

The flag needs a breeze, so it can unfurl to showcase its beauty. A calm day makes the flag sit still and we wouldn't see stars and stripes. A day of beauty sits upon the flag...
