I believe the flag on the boat is French.

In Explore May 21, 2009, #374. If viewed large a covering of dew can be seen on the flower.

Didn't quite know what to think of this but decided in the end to post and see what others thought.

We are still in Canada (Edmonton), so our celebration of the 4th is private and personal, but we have not forgotten this great national holiday and felt that we ought to post something in commemoration of the day.

In Explore February 20, 2010, #387, but not picked up by Scout. Thanks to Boshaft for finding it. For Valter. This was photographed from the Cambie Bridge in Vancouver overlooking the Olympic Village. Most of the flags were hanging on the sides of buildings, but the Italian flag was hanging above them all on this huge crane. We speculated that it was there because the last winter Olympics had been in Turin, Italy, or that some of the athletes had been daring enough to climb the crane and hang their flag there. Dennis suggested that perhaps the crane operator was Italian. You may take your pick of explanations.

Tomorrow is Memorial Day here in the states and I am posting this for the day. It was taken here in the town in which we live one evening as the sun was setting, and perhaps not only the flag but the setting sun are a fitting tribute to those who have lost their lives in battle.

We live only minutes from the border, so almost in the shadow of this flag. The picture was taken on one of our many trips to Vancouver. I will be at a conference next week and have no idea how much opportunity to post pictures or comment, but I will catch everyone up eventually. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2010/12/around-vanc...
