Flag Day 2013



Our flag means all that our fathers meant in the Revolutionary War.
It means all that the Declaration of Independence meant.
It means justice.
It means liberty.
Every color means liberty.
Every thread means liberty.
Every star and stripe means liberty.

- Henry Ward Beecher -

indeed, it was a beautiful day ...


"ventured to a quaint little town,
with some sweet and quaint little shops
had a quaint cup of herbal tea
got lots of quaint little shots"

... of mostly flowers"! :)

i put together a quaint little mosaic / collage
with some images of the special things i saw, and loved!


... it was a beautiful day


i'm linking up with mona's floral love,

and also, come monday,
when entries are submitted for the week,
i'll be linking to mosaic monday, over at the 'dear little red house',
an interesting and fun challenge i recently stumbled onto!

do come and join in one, or both!

*note on how to make a collage / mosaic ...

i've found a site, and yes, with a funny name, where i made this collage using my images.
it offers a few ways to do it, and even more when you learn to adjust the palette,
which allows you to add more images, as well.

i've tried making collages/mosaics in my own editing program,
but never quite got the 'hang' of it.

if you're interested in making your own, i hope this site helps you.
you can also do some fun photo editing there as well.
