Your photos project your feelings right onto my screen - and I understand what you're saying, Charles, when I look at the images. There's a lot of truth in your statements too.

Your thoughts and comments are a good reminder these national holidays are not just a day off work (for some), but days to remember and reflect, and need I say, to be grateful for our country, even with all the challenges we face. There's also so much to be grateful for.

Thanks for making me think!

I wound up going home in a funk, thinking about that part of our history(my mother was a Lenai-Lenape Indian). Hope you can see what I see in these shots.
