~~~She is a Grand Old Flag~~~ Happy Fourth!!



Wishes for a wonderful day to all my American blogger friends, and families ,as we celebrate the 
Declaration of Independence of the USA 
( My neighbors flag flying proud)


A few photo's from August 2012 I never got posted that I thought would be fitting for this day!!
 My daughter , grandson and I where at Mere Point in Brunswick Me.!!
We had been visiting Woflneck Park near by !!
We was standing out on a pier when we heard a very loud roaring noise, and looking to the sky
saw the above planes in formation heading toward us!! 
My daughter remembered that she had heard about the air show that was going to be held over the weekend, and these planes, and a lot more where doing practice runs!
We got to see some of the show for free as they kept running the area!!

They went right over where we was standing (very loud "eeek's"), and I was 
able to point straight up "quickly" to get this shot!! 
(Whew..and I didn't fall over backward.  Not bad for an old Gal ! ; )

In a flash they where banking, and went straight up in the clouds!!


 These shore birds got in on the act, giving it a try , and did pretty good job of it!! 
Look at that ..."Not bad" : ) !!


Have a great time today, and be careful messing around with those

    Great shots Grace. Have a brilliant Independence Day.
    I was going to mention tea and Boston harbour but that would be churlish after all your country has done for us.
