The fathers of the democracy not the soldiers declared independence, and the citizen soldier secured it for all. One must remember that the soldier is still a citizen then a patriot.

Happy Fourth of July !

... for a better future :)

A Cornucopia of Fall color was my reward for making the trek up to Independence Ohio after heavy rain to see this beauty. I was glad some of the lush greens hung around to show the transition of seasons.

I hope all are having a fine week. Our fireworks have been postponed, due to approaching thunderstorms. Too bad, as I had the night off from the zombie lab.

Wishing all our American friends a happy Independence Day.

those two buildings remind me the motion picture

The storm that rolled through our area July 4th reminded me of the alien attack from the movie from 1996. Unlike the movie though,everything was left standing!

Have a great weekend everyone!

This pano shot of Wednesday nights storm reminded me of the alien spaceship arrival in the 1996 movie,which came appropriately on Independence Day...

Happy Fourth of July to all my American friends.

Today August 15 is our 63 Independence Day. Jai Hindh.

and Freedom!!! What many have paid the ultimate price to protect, while a few others unfortunately have tried to take away. Photo taken outside one of the last remaining U.S. Bases in Germany at 23:00 CEST, 4 July 2014.

On the anniversary celebrating the declaration of independence from England and the birth of democracy in the United States, this large mature bald eagle showed up near our house, its feathers ruffled after hearing rumors of an attempted coups d'etat and questionable decisions by the high court of the land. Hoping democratic order would remain, it eventually spread its wings and took off.

Just part of the aerial display from last night!

Hope everyone had a great and safe fourth of July !

Five Blue Angels punch into the sky like a patriotic exclamation mark the kind of formation that feels less like flight and more like a national signature. On Independence Day, this image hits different: precision, discipline, and raw American engineering carving upward into a cloudless July sky.

The jets rise in a perfect fan, vapor trails streaking behind them like fireworks drawn in daylight. The symmetry is surgical. The timing is flawless. It’s the aviation equivalent of a national anthem, loud, proud, and impossible to ignore.

And with you shooting this on July 4, the whole frame becomes a celebration: the blue of the sky, the blue of the jets, the gold accents flashing like sparks from a firework shell. It’s America’s birthday rendered in thrust and geometry.

This is extremely green for this area at this time of year.

Bars, barbers, cafes, restaurants & cinemas can try to make a living again in England as they are all allowed to reopen on the 4th July.

Sete de setembro, o Dia da Pátria, quando todas as cidades brasileiras se tingem de verde e amarelo. Dia de desfile e manifestações de civismo, que deveriam se repetir amiúde, espontaneamente.

March 2nd, 1836 -- Texas declares independence from Mexico

Happy Texas Independence Day to my beloved state Also Happy fence Friday. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

I spent an evening in a spring snow storm in the Colorado National Monument this week. It was a sight to behold. The snow was blowing and looked like fog in the canyons and nooks. The scene was beautiful and the evening light was very nice too. The moisture emboldened the earthy tones. The only thing that would have made the evening better would to have seen some desert sheep.

Thanks for visiting my stream, I appreciate any comments that you leave for me,
