The RED, the WHITE and the BLUE

 

America-the  Fourth of July

 

Flags are present in all nations. The design and colors represent the values of its people. 

 
In America we, also, fly our flag with pride. 

 

Flags of every size, but always RED WHITE BLUE

 

Flags are found in the usual and not so usual places. 

 

 

People across America choose to fly flags out of respect for our history, government, Declaration of Independence, freedoms fought for America and elsewhere, lives lost in the cause for that freedom and gratitude for our government as set forth on July 4, 1776.

Funky, Quirky, Only in America

Funky, Quirky, Eclectic, Unbelievable, Different, Outrageous....it all comes down to PERSONAL STYLE and TASTE. And in this grand, huge, enormous country, the USA, there is room aplenty to express oneself.  We have heard it often said, "One man's trash is another man's treasure."It is the unpredictability in life that is so fascinating."

The day before the movers arrived, my camera and I continued our  little "wander."  We went here and there sifting through many memories.

"So long, Farewell....."

"Down by the Seashore, Early in the Morning."

Generosity

The Yellow Castle in the Sky is empty for want of retail business...so sad.

Windmills anyone? They are abundantly present in Havre de Grace.

The Cadillac of Windmills.

Ship ahoy me mateys!!!!

A front yard filled with eclectic sculpture.

Gravity defying,  bent metal all magically linked together.

Waiting for the Bride and Groom.

Americans LOVE their FLAGS of RED, WHITE and BLUE.

Counting the Hours, Minutes and Seconds

Princess Furilla is counting the hours, minutes and seconds until H.esq. returns from vacation. We tempted her with a new friend to play with......

But Furilla found her a bit to quiet and stiff-lipped.  Next we tempted her with.....

Sushi, but even crab and avocado did not appeal to her fancy taste.  So we sat down and had a little chat. We thought if she was entertained a bit with tales of our adventures it would cheer her up and help the time pass until her family returned in the evening.

There have been so many wonderful experiences that we weren't sure where to begin, but this is what we shared.

Gorgeous Easter candy displays that totally took our breath away. But the pocketbook couldn't really afford these little lovelies, however, we did find a great way to buy candy in Theater Square. We went to see

After we picked up our tickets, we walked the theater district...and stumbled upon TWO GIANT CANDY STORES.

Furilla loved this part of the story. She watched us pack our suitcase with four LARGE sacks of CHOCOLATE yummies.

Because the Princess loves to chase a dangling feather from a stick we thought she would love our pictures of the Flags at Rockefeller Square. It was a gorgeous day, and the flags have never been more beautiful!!!
 

Adieu, Furilla, Goodbye New York City, we leave you with this beautiful gift of springtime...just days away.
