You Capture - America

This week we were supposed to capture pictures that said America to us but we were to avoid the typical American flag photos. I'm not gonna lie. I struggled with this one. If just once Beth would make the You Capture subject Striebel Pond, I know I'd nail it!

Anyway, I tried to avoid the typical American flag photos and get some rather atypical American flag photos. And, I know, sometimes it was a bit of a stretch.

I don't think that anyone could dispute that nothing says America like the veteran's organizations. Here's one I saw while stopped at a red light.

On the same street I passed this beautiful cottage with lovely, artful landscaping and signs of patriotism every where I looked.

At Striebel Pond I noticed our flag with the barbeque grill underneath which said the 4th of July and America to me. And when I noticed the church in the background, the picture automatically earned a berth in the America To Me entries.

Finally, here's where I really went to work. All the little paragraph separators and the pictures below were taken at one place. I pulled in the driveway three different times in the past week to try to get just the right shot. Obviously I never did but I'm including these anyway because I worked so hard to get them and because.......


it's just not the type of business that I would normally frequent and remember I had to go there three times! (I do think it's kind of American though isn't it.)
