June 8th, 2009 by

I photographed these red carnations, white petunias and blue lobelia outside a florist in Highland Park a little before the Memorial Day Parade.

I enjoyed seeing “Uncle Sam” in attendance at the Israel Day Parade in New York City.

    Floral shops are treasure islands of color – carnations – such a strong survivors!

    I like the angle of your first shot. Funny Uncle Sam: very patriotic looking.

    Just finished the mushroom – hubby approved – thank you – it is going to be success for dinner! I’ll try to take a picture with my lousy camera :)

    Hooray for the red, white and blue! The patriotic flower arrangement is a stylish view of three important colors. The hat is just about right for this view between the two holidays Memorial Day and July 4. I like the stars and stripes at the Israel Day Parade. A nice view of a wonderful relationship!

  7. Carletta says:

    I agree – nice angle on the flower shot.
    Great hat – Ralph’s right – July 4 is coming soon.
    Your flower shot would make a nice postcard for the day. :)

      Yes, I thought about waiting until July 4th to show it. But I figured by then I would find something else…and I have more of these same flowers, anyway, at other angles.

    Gorgeous! I love the flowers, such rich colors.
    And at first glance it looked like it was by a beach where the sidewalk was sand and the street was the ocean.
