Today, in the United States, it is Independence Day. For this year, it's going to be cause for great celebration.
Let's celebrate with some flowers.
Red geraniums
White impatiens after a rain (with one pink impatien).
About as close to blue as you can get in a cultivated flower.
Even wildflowers want to celebrate Independence Day
No Red but I do have a White Queen Anne's Lace with a Japanese beetle on it.
The closest one can come to blue in a wildflower - here, chicory.
Independence Day would not be complete without some music, so here is some "America" themed music. My favorite piece of fireworks music is this song by James Brown: Living in America.
Three cheers for the red, white and blue. Our country is flawed, yes, but we also have a lot to celebrate. Let today be the day to do it.
Beautiful! Have a safe and happy 4th of July. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, and the same to you, Martha.

Delete...there will never be another James Brown. Happy 4th of July.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, Tom. Hard to believe I did not like his music growing up. Now I love him.
DeleteSuch pretty flowers!! Yes, let's celebrate our freedoms today and pray we still have them next Fourth of July!

DeleteIsn't chicory the most amazing blue color? I have been taking photo after photo of it at the park when Mickey and I go for walks.
