She cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be..St. Luke 1:29
I never realized how difficult it was to shoot a self portrait while saluting the flag and for it to look authentic ...especially when I looked at the temperature for our area today...It said it was 98.0 °F and feels like 115 °F.
However, when I think of the sacrifices that are made to maintain our freedom, I was more than happy to withstand a little discomfort.
The red white and blue
Gives reason to portray
The freedom we value
To celebrate Independence Day!

You did a great job of what had to be a difficult shot to take! This is a very special and heartfelt SP, I think! We`re expecting some heat this week-end, but probably not that hot, which is fine with me :)

Thank you all for your kind words...The 4th of July was really a sizzler here..We didn't see the fireworks but we felt the heat.

A very stunning s/p, Andrea! I know this had to be very difficult to capture, but you did it very well! I hope you had a lovely 4th of July. (We are sweltering here in Maine too. It's been in the 90s with high humidity (49%). Something we're not used to at all.
