Great shots Sandy. Pssst, (just between you, me and all of the internet) for all of my life, I thought those were grapes on our flag. I always thought it was strange because we make some of the worst wine on the planet in CT. OAK LEAVES, duh, ACORNS!! Now I get it. Thank you for the Eureka moment.

Stunning captures again Sandy. I especially like how the bottom flag is so bright against the dark blue. Really makes it jump out at you.
ReplyDeleteEsse Quam Videri is NC's: "To Be Rather Than To Seem". A worthy aspiration, in my thinking.

ReplyDeleteSandy: That first shot is great with the two blues.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots. It's interesting that both poles are topped with eagles. Were these flags flying side by side?
