The Dawning of America

By AnneWorner  
Happy 4th of July.

I'm still on "Norway time" so it was easy getting up to greet the sun this AM. Arrived back in the US Friday afternoon. It's good to travel, but nothing beats being back in one's own home!

Texas Farm Bureau Insurance lined the entire sidewalk area outside our local Fire Department with these miniature flags - there were hundreds of them.

A special thanks to Theresa (AshTree) for her UA on my image "Run" - most appreciated.

Thanks for looking.

Terrific lines and colour, great use of the focus-shift - very sweet!
We got back on Saturday and are still on "Kent time". I know it's the same as "Northumberland time", it just feels different Smile
