She's a Grand Old Flag

Mackinac Island, Michigan, 2016

Independence Day is over, except for a few random fireworks still going off.  I hope it was a safe and enjoyable day for all of Buttercupland. I celebrated with iced coffee out of doors in the morning, a long and fun Zoom with my group of travel buddies in the afternoon and a Zoom wedding in the evening. 

I gathered a few of my favorite American flag photographs to share. One of my all-time favorite photographs is the one above taken on beautiful Mackinac Island in Michigan. Mackinac had long been one of my travel destinations and I so enjoyed my visit there. My only regret was not spending time on the island after a flight, a long drive and then a ferry ride. It was a lot of travel, but so worth it.   

  July at Rockefeller Center, pre-social distancing

A perfect summer day in the West Village, New York City, 

on one of my favorite historic blocks

The first pictures are  from times past, but this one was taken yesterday, just a few blocks from home. The building is next to one of the fruit stands I frequent and across the street from my hair stylist. It was one of many flags I saw displayed in the neighborhood.

I'm linking to the Fourth of July fun at Pink Saturday, though it's now officially Sunday. While I wrote this post the fireworks have ended and it's quiet once again in my corner of the world. I hope your corners of the world are peaceful, too. 

As ever, thanks for visiting and take good care. Much love and stay well.
