About It's the 4th of July here and I am ashamed but cannot remember all of the words to our National Anthom This is not something with the colors of the flag, but a simple image of everyday life ( when the sun shines) and I do believe God has Blessed us very much.......
I thought this image was too busy.... what to focus on (?)The flowers, the bay, the sea, It's All in this picture... but I decided to use it instead as a dedication to our country .
