"Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime." Adlai E. Stevenson
Photo was taken on a hill overlooking Saint John New Brunswick and true to form, was a bit overcast that day.
“If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a good citizen of the world.” Francis Bacon
This photo was taken at Snug Harbor (Duxbury) with a disposable camera on a very foggy morning.
If I had of been framing up the picture today, more of the flag might have gotten included. What I was taking the picture of was the Harbor Master’s office, where I worked for one of the best summers of my life. My current office does not provide anything like those kinds of views.

I like your photos very much. Have always liked shots of grasses against the sky, overcast or not. Snug Harbor looks like a place I'd like to visit. Thanks for a nice Sky Watch, and for the lovely quotes.
Wonderful sequence!
A really nice post for a great Sky Watch!
Nice to celebrate in the same week. I just added a flag shot for the actual 4th since Sky Watch is usually Thursday afternoon.
I love the first photo and the second foggy one is a postcard shot to be sure!
Thanks for coming by and leaving such wonderful comments.
Happy Holidays!
Perfect entry for skywatch… all I can say is that “you’ll be the sun in somebody else’s sky”…LoL! Mine’s up too hope you can drop by…
Love the quotes, the reminiscences, the photos.
Happy Fourth!
Great shots. I like both. Snug Harbor looks like a great place to stroll...
I love tall grasses and the sky backdrop even makes it better.
Happy Canada Day. Lovely shots and creative art projects.
Happiest of Canada days etc I am looking forward to seeing it too.

:) Do like your point of view. Similarly, I feel at home everywhere because all was created by my heavenly father.
Great pieces! Diane
Hi Mandy! Love your projects! Belated Canada Day greetings to you! We watched the fireworks over the harbour. After 3 nights of cancellations (no surprise, right?) they were splendid!
