Ole Glory Flying Through the Bushes in Encinitas CA

Ole Glory Flying in Encinitas CA

 

I had to take my wife to a doctor appointment recently, and was sitting in the car doing some work on my phone.

 

I happened to look up and noticed this flag flying through the gap in the bushes in front of my car at the next medical office building. I thought it was perfectly framed by the greenery.

 

Unfortunately from where I was I couldn’t get a photo of the flag and the building itself, at least not through bushes. It was a June Gloom day so the color isn't the best.

 

American Flag in Encinitas CA

 

It was simply a lucky sighting that afternoon, since I wasn’t, at the time, looking for a flag flying or thinking about the June contest. That’s the way things happen sometimes.

 

I have found myself noticing Ole Glory flying much more than I did in the past as a result of this contest. And that’s a good thing!!

Hi Joan Cox 

The color contrast was striking and seeing that Flag brightened my day.

It may have been a June gloom day, but the flag waving through the trees would have been a fine sight

That was a June gloom day in Encinitas.  I am looking for flags in my area for the June challenge and finding a flag is truly challenging. I saw one out of the corner of my eye flying in front of a building set back from the street. I pulled over and backed my car up so I could get a photo. Yours was a lucky find. 

I hope all is well with your wife, and you Jeff Dowler, CRS

The U.S. flag seems to grab attention in every place she flies Jeff, whether unfurling, gently waving or simply hanging. It is a symbol that always grabs the patriotic part of me!

Hi Jeff- I agree with you and think many of us are "tuned in" to looking out for Ole Glory with the June Challenge. I had a similar experience this morning while out walking at the Preserve. I wanted to get Ole Glory and the Texas state flag, which I did but it was a cloudy morning. Not as bright as I would have liked.

Hi Jeff,

I think you got a great shot, and I would because there is a King Palm in the pic I knew it was California! Nice capture. Have a great Sunday!

Hello Jeff Dowler, CRS .  As Endre Barath, Jr. states.  It is not always the pic but the moment it portrays for us.  Being more cognizant of it.  Enjoying it more.  I have heard many speak of being more cognizant of 'Ole Glory' flying.  Kudos.  Do remember to post a link in comment section of AR Challenge 'Ole Glory Coast to Coast.  Mark

Good morning, Jeff... I love this photo... something haunting about it. And like you, I also suddenly am more aware of 'Ole Glory where ever she might be flying.

Hi Ed Silva  - it certainly was a nice, bright contrast to the gray skies!

Thanks Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist  Yes, all is well. I have been noticing more flags as a result of the contest but given where I was parked I certainly wasn't expecting anything. Nice surprise!

Hi Jeff Dowler, CRS - I hope everything went well for your wife at the doctor's office. 

Sometimes all we have to do when waiting for someone is to look up. Seeing that flag was an admiration for respect and I'll bet it made you smile. I like how the greenery created a natural picture frame. Great capture!

I think when we start to look for something, we see much more of it as we are more aware.
