I've decided to (take the massive task of) redesigning flags - I know, I know, you're welcome : )
Anyway, I realise this could be a risky challenge to set myself, so please, don't hate mail me, saying that, I do want to know your reactions and thoughts, good or otherwise...
Antarctica - it's melting, needs help.
Anyway, what'd you think?
Oh - just incase you don't know what the original looked like - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Antarctica
Flag Day, or Dia de la Bandera, in Mexico symbolizes the pride that Mexicans have in their flag. Although they were colonized by Spain in the 1500s, the deep running pride for their country remains the same. The origin of the flag comes from the Aztecs, who believed that when they found the eagle perched on a nopal (prickly pear cactus) with a serpent in his talons that is where they were supposed to settle. That’s exactly what they did! The flags colors are green, white, and red. The green stands for hope and victory, and white stands for purity, and the red band represents the blood that was shed by their ancestors. The eagle on the cactus with the snake sits in the middle of the white band. Flag day is a day that Mexicans take to remember their country and how it came into being. In the schools, they teach the children about the origins of the flag and the nation anthem, and they often focus on the subject via TV shows and special programs.

as a child, the artist loved the bright colours of the paper flags she used to decorate sand castles. This gorilla features the flags of the ten nations of Africa where gorillas can be found.
Hag says: I can only discover nine of those nations (and I don't know which are their flags!): Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Guinea, Nigeria, Rwanda, Uganda and Zaire.

Our local scouts assist in putting up scores of flags in our town's cemetery for Memorial Day. The sight and sound of all those flags that day was indescribably magnificent.
Trying to catch the flag backlit by sunlight hitting it at a high, glancing angle of attack and pretty much overexposed the shot. (As anyone shooting waving flags knows, you never know how/when the wind will "whip" it into a nice form.)
The GFA Middle School Flag Football team, playing its first season, hosted St. Luke's on Thursday, Sept. 10, 2019.
