O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free
And the home of the brave?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!

There’s nothing so lovely as a flower right after the rain stops and the sun comes out. I’m working on a new series of these photos. Let me know if you like them.

In memory of all the men and women who lost their lives in service to our country and in honor of all the men, women, and children who have died just trying to live their lives in this country.

After a foggy, rainy, dreary couple of days, I ran out early in the morning to see how my irises were doing. The day before they were still buds and then, like magic, one had bloomed in the rain. Made me so happy!
