4th of July Parade

We went to a Fourth of July parade in a town nearby with some friends.  I simply loved that this gentleman looked straight at me while I was taking his picture.  He's a WWII Vet.  






OOPS, as I was lying down ON the road in front of the flag taking the picture, I didn't realize I was blocking their walking path.  That was an embarrassing moment.  I moved FAST once someone pointed it out to me.



How can a juicy watermelon not be part of the celebration of Patriotism?

That first photo of the wwII vet is so sweet. That flag photo was worth the embarrassment! It's such a beautiful photo! And I love the watermelon pic too which reminds me we haven't even had one yet this summer.

Hi Sarah, Just in case you don't realize it, your blogger profile is private so when you comment on someone's blog they can't click on your name to find your blog. If you want them to be able to find you, go to your dashboard and click on edit profile, then check the box that says share my profile. At least I think that's right.

I love that first pic! And laying in the middle of the road while blocking the parade marchers' path is something I'd probably end up doing. lol Too funny!
Thanks for joining Alicia and I for the Crazy Days of Summer Photo Challenge. I hope you'll join us again next week when we tackle a new theme, critters. (Eek! I hate bugs. lol) Have a great day!
