Today was Flag Day….a day that has special meaning to me for various reasons. I read this post over at “The Retiring Sort” a couple of days ago and wanted to share it with you. She expresses my feelings about our flag, its symbolism, and what it stands for (as well as the flags of other countries) better than I ever could have. Please take a few moments to read her post and reflect on our flag and what it means to you. Happy Flag Day to all!

This week’s The Daily Post – Weekly Photo Challenge is: In a new post created for this challenge, share a picture that says In the Background. Click here to see the challenge. Here’s my take on the theme.
As we were decorating our yard for Memorial Day, I noticed my yellow flower thing-ys had begun blooming (does anyone know the name of these plants?). I decided to snap some photos. After I took the first one or two pictures, I remembered this week’s Photo Challenge and decided to see just what I could “catch” in the background of my frame. I took these with my iPhone5 camera. I wish now I would have used my good Sony. Oh, well, hind-sight is always 20/20!
In The Background: One of the flags we put around the front of our house.
The intent of this shot was to get the flag with the roses.
In The Background: Three more of the flags down the sidewalk.
And I just cannot resist posting this next picture. In the background is my front door with my Flip Flop Wreath! (Click on the name of the post to see previous posts: Flip Flop Frenzy – Part 2 and Flip Flop Frenzy).
I hope you enjoyed my take on the theme “In The Background.”
