Evening Flag

Saturday is Flag Day.


I don’t have a flag right now, but my neighbors just got one that’s big enough for everyone on the block. I don’t know why they erected a flagpole that is taller than their house. There is a light on the top so they don’t have to take it in at night.

Right now, the flag is just hanging there because the wind‘s not blowing. But a fresh breeze will come along, and it will fly proudly again.

I’m a fan of subtle metaphors.

    That's an amazing flag and I love how they are following the rules for displaying it at night. We have a flag but I fly it only on holidays. Not very many people do so nowadays. We have a neighbor who flew his flag upside down during the whole Biden administration. I loathe stuff like that.

    The sky makes a beautiful backdrop for the flag. Years ago, I worked with a woman who was once a Cub Scout leader and knew all the rules for displaying and flying our American flag. She got so upset when she saw a flag was not being treated properly. She would have thanked the owners of this flag. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

      I get a little upset when I see people with dirty tattered flags flying from a truck antenna. I also hate to see people wearing flag pattern clothing that’s sweaty or otherwise disrespectful.

    I imagine it is beautiful when it waves.

    May be a little over the top? Still, a pretty flag and well photographed!
