Friday Flags: A Proud Beacon in Southern NJ

We took a few days away from CT to enjoy some calm. We had been to Galloway earlier in the year and the resort was just calling.

As we were driving out to get breakfast, I noticed a large flag behind a row of trees.

There wasn't enough wind blowing to allow  for a good shot, but at least I knew where it was.

Later in the day I was more fortunate, however.

Determination was on my side, and a decent shot was achieved.

You definitely captured a better shot the second time around!  I hope that you and your wife are having a blast at the resort!

Brian England  the adage where there's a will there's a way is appropriate not to mention patience getting rewarded

Good Friday morning, Ed. We have a sunny morning in Maryland and the flags are flying in Kentlands, our home community.

Ed both photos look good to me, but then again, I think any photo that has our proud American Flag in it is an excellent photo.

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754

My thoughts as well,  George Souto  but the flying flags is far more attractive
