Friday Flags: Welcome to the Warmth of the Sunshine State

Stopping for gas, and I was thinking of what to offer for my Friday Flags post and didn't want to use another of the snow flags in the to be used files.

While filling up the tank, I saw my answer across the road.

I was in a car dealership lot and the wind was in the wrong direction I walked to a different area to try again.

Mission accomplished and a week with a flag against a warm blue sky.

Good morning, Ed... I'm sure you are delighted to be in a warm environment after your winter in Connecticut. Enjoy! And looks like Old Glory is enjoying the warm weather, as well.

Hi Nina Hollander, Broker   Better was the chance to take the old dirt off the golf clubs, although they seem to have gotten very crooked over the lapse.

A simple scene, but it says a great deal. A clear flag against a blue sky captures the feeling many people associate with the Sunshine State.

After weeks of winter images in many parts of the country, warmth and light stand out. It is a reminder that place influences mood, lifestyle, and even outlook. Thank you for sharing a moment that reflects that perspective so well.
