Friday Flags:  A Vacation Opportunity 

As we near the end of the vacation and start to head back to the balmy New England winter, I stopped for an opportunity to take these shots, as well as allowing my wife to browse at some outlet stores.

While walking across the parking lot, I saw the flutter and as it wasn't quite yet ready, it was teasing.

Like the little engine that could, I knew if I waited long enough the wind would allow Old Glory to fully extend.

And that's exactly what happened, and as though to reward me for my patience, it stayed up there and fluttered long enough for me to grab a few great shots.

It is never a boring view for this veteran.

Good morning Ed. Regardless of the political chaos and current economic strife, Old Glory still serves as a reminder that we live in the best country in the world. Now all we need to do is dispose of a few bad apples. Enjoy your day.

Hi Ed Silva - I don't think that viewers realize that do catch a good photo may take a few minutes to capture at the right moment.  I always appreciate a well-planned photo especially when it is of our flag.
