You may sense a theme -- at least in the first few shots...
Day 183
July 2: All men are created equal. I have a full size, framed replica of the Declaration of Independence, and no wall space left to hang it -- darn photography hobby! This is my favorite line from the document -- it is the foundational idea that became the promise of the United States of America.
Day 184
July 3: I have a collection of various American flags, and I break them out each Independence Day. I decided to try a reflecting shot of old Betsy Ross against the glass on the frame of the Declaration of Independence. This shot was much harder to get than I thought it would be. Day 185
July 4: In descending order:Old Glory: 50 Stars, 13 Stripes
The Grand Union: The first flag of the United States of America. The Union Jack in the corner wouldn't last much longer.
Betsy Ross: The thirteen stars in a circle were to represent a new constellation.
Day 186
July 5: I have a soft spot for Candy Land. Our family has spent countless hours on the sweet and sticky trail to the Candy Castle. It's the game that can be played by the entire family, almost without exception. Day 187
July 6: Yes, I laid down in the grass and took a picture of the clover. Be sure to check back next week when, for your viewing enjoyment, I present: Paint Drying!
Day 188
July 7: Here's out newest favorite back yard past time. Did you know that dragonflies are EXTREMELY attracted to a shuttlecock flying through the air? Me either, until last night. They came from four counties away, and buzzed the tower repeatedly.
Day 189
July 8: Here's to spontaneity and Bon Jovi. Driving home from dinner, I snapped a quick shot over my shoulder -- Emma was rocking to Bon Jovi's "It's my life."
She loves that song.
Can you tell?
