Friday Flags A Goodbye Salute to Hilton Head Island

We are coming to the end of our vacation, and it will be a drive to get back to the reality of home. I will miss the warm days and green grass, but hopefully it won't be long before I am checking the mower to do our yard.

I pulled into the lot of the golf course and there was a pole with a flag, but it seemed too relaxed and didn't want to wave at me.

Friday Flags A Goodbye Salute to Hilton Head Island I kept looking over at it as I unloaded the car and started to put on my shoes. I was hoping that the wind would give me the shot I wanted.

I gave it another glance and saw movement.

While it may not have been billowing briskly, it was enough to satisfy my need and give me a pleasant start to the day.

Hi Ed,
I know you've enjoyed for vacation and glad the flag decided to give you a patriotic wave goodbye.

Ed, you waited long enough to get a pretty good shot. Ending a vacation can be a bit sad, but always nice to get back to your own bed! Safe travels.

I was at Hilton Head in 2014. It's such an amazing place. It's good to see Old Glory flying there.

Dan Hopper I am familiar with the First responder's version as well as a police flag, but don't know of any others.

Brian England Yes, it's a heat wave with temps almost reaching 50

Dan Hopper That's a lot of flags, but not along the lines of my thoughts. Those are a lot of historical flags.

Although on the drive north we saw a large Stars and Bars waving at a business along I-95 in North Carolina.

Hi Ed- enjoy your return trip home!!! Your photos of the billowing flags inspire me to try to catch a similar photo here but we're usually in the car passing by. I'm still working on it.

Hi Ed:

That second Friday Flag photo was certainly worth waiting for since the wind cooperated, and a nice good-by to Hilton Head.

Kathy Streib My Friday flag quest is such that I do leave time along the way to stop and take the photos as opportunities are not known and a few minutes of time makes for fond memories.

Jeff Dowler, CRS When I first drove into the lot the wind was strong and it caught my eye. Once I parked and waited it felt like a lost opportunity and I took the first photo which was to have a story. As I was mentally writing the disappointment blog, the wind kicked up and allowed for that second photo.

While a flag hanging, with absolutely no wisp of wind, holds its own alure, seeing Old Glory waving in the wind is always heart warming. Mark
