Well, that's it for my city-captures of historic Saint Augustine, Florida. It was our 7th consecutive year here on the 4th of July. It's always fun! I got 50 keepers. All taken in one day, and then it took me the entire month of July to post them. Hope you enjoyed them as much as I did capturing them! I still have one nice Saint Augustine sunrise to post and also a nice grouping of avian captures, also taken in Saint Augustine. And then after that I have a huge-backlog of South Florida sunsets that I still have to work on. Some really good ones! But for now it's on to August in this tense and stressful year. And if the the virus wasn't enough, we will be waking up tomorrow to a Category 2 Hurricane just off our shores! What a year! Hoping everything is good by you, where-ever in the world you might be. Thank you for looking. Best Regards from South Florida U.S.A.

Using the same exact scene that I uploaded like two days ago but... eh, what the hell. The WW2 builders do it all the time.
And I liked this photo, so, yeah.
A close-up look at one of ribbons from the Art installation "Camouflage" by artist Ai Weiwei at Four Freedoms Park on Roosevelt Island. Unfortunately Freedom of Speech is under attack by the current administration making this art installation very timely.
This installation is the first in a series of public art programs "Art X Freedom". It will commission artists to make works intersecting social justice and art.
Ai Weiwei states "The project explores the essence of Roosevelt's Four Freedoms, beginning with Freedom of speech - the fundamental right for everyone to express their understanding of goodness and justice, free from the influence of politics, religion, or economic power."

This wild horse conservation group currently has about 400 horses and burros on land near Lompoc and San Luis Obispo. Several times a year, they conduct special tours for photographers. 218/365
When we think about a dream or a wish, we often think about money, health. But what about freedom? Liberty is not less important than health or happiness, just think for a moment, will we be more happy or healthy if we don say what we want, if we don't think what's really happening, if we don't act like we do, if we are not us? Will we enjoy life then? Don't let anybody or anything or yourself turns you into a fictional reality, we're not robots, we are the actions of our thoughts. We are free to be free. So if I could make a wish I would wish I never lost freedom.
"Wait for the rivers to run in the opposite direction in the same way that every free-born man is happy to be locked up within precise limits without the freedom to go where he wants"

Today is American Independence Day, aka July 4th, 4th of July. I will not be celebrating it in a traditional way with parades, picnics, or family get-togethers, but I did wake up this morning thinking of my country & what it means to me. I searched my home for a symbolic star & was interested to find only one--the simple star in the wooden nativity scene that I display year-round. For me, my love of country & of God are intertwined & I am most thankful for both. Being a librarian, I couldn't resist doing a little research on star symbolism. Not surprisingly, I found a plethora of information. What caught my imagination was a quote from the nineteenth century minister, Henry Ward Beecher (brother of Harriet Beecher Stow, who wrote "Uncle Tom's Cabin"). He said, of the American flag,
"A thoughtful mind when it sees a nation's flag, sees not the flag, but the nation itself. And whatever may be its symbols, its insignia, he reads chiefly in the flag, the government, the principles, the truths, the history that belongs to the nation that sets it forth. The American flag has been a symbol of Liberty and men rejoiced in it.
The stars upon it were like the bright morning stars of God, and the stripes upon it were beams of morning light. As at early dawn the stars shine forth even while it grows light, and then as the sun advances that light breaks into banks and streaming lines of color, the glowing red and intense white striving together, and ribbing the horizon with bars effulgent, so, on the American flag, stars and beams of many-colored light shine out together ...."
May we all celebrate the freedoms & the gifts in our every-day lives. May we nurture them in our various ways, day by day.
