Friday Flags If You Wait, it will Wave in Watertown CT

Friday Flags If You Wait, it will Wave in Watertown CT

While driving into Watertown, CT to meet someone at a condo complex, I noticed the flag at the entrance was less than furled. The limbs on the adjacent trees were moving slightly so I waited a few minutes to see if the flag would strut for me.

The saying is that a watched pot never boils, and I was starting to believe that that would apply here as well.

As I was thinking that I would have to return, the trees moved a lot, and then I looked up and that flag was speaking to me.

Not only did it shine but the burst almost spoke to me as sorry to have made you wait so long.

I got the shot, the meeting went well and then went on my way. All Good

Hi Ed and Happy Friday!  You deserve some kind of award for your flag photos!  I love how you're able to catch them as they are  unfurled and flying proudly!

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 - I know that feeling. Many times I waited for a shot like that and the time it took to wait seemed forever, but once the wind picked up and brought that flag up was always a special moment. 

This flag's picture was terrific! It's such a great feeling  too! It caused me to think about the soldiers and the incredible patience it takes for them to complete a mission or to wait until they can come back home to America.

I thought of you yesterday Ed as  we drove by a huge car museum. They proudly fly one of the biggest flags in town every day and I love seeing it.    Glad you got your shot!!
