We always flew the flag. We have a pole with both the American flag and one representing the Army (the branch my son is in). The pole had to come down though when our yard was dug up. It should go back up this summer.

Lovely how they look.

Powerful image, Craig. Canadians are a little more laid back when it comes to our patriotism. It's there... but just below the surface. ;-)

Scenes like that only happen here in England during sports events, typically football, so our flag seems to be associated with soccer, not patriotism, a totally different approach to the flag to the USA it seems

The colours are great in your image

@bronzebilly u.k.: You may be the only one to "get" what I'm doing here. In that regard, the photo has missed its mark. But, I refuse to spend a paragraph telling the viewer what to think and how to interpret my photos because then I miss the mark as well. Appreciate your comments as always billy!
