uncle sam at the saint james general store




























I took this photograph back in december thinking I would save it for the fourth of july. I know today is the 5th, but since the 4th fell on a sunday here in the states, today is the day the banks, library, post office and all the rest of the government offices are closed in celebration of the 4th.
as for me, I will be working on a painting all day. if I make some progress, I hope to get away for a walk on the beach. whatever it is you are doing, I hope your day is a wonderful one.
 on a side note, I am actually writing this sunday night & if you heard the racket outside that I am hearing now, you would think we were in a war zone.

That's cute! Have fun with your painting and please share it here once you've finished. And enjoy your beach walk. Sounds like a lovely day you have planned :)

He's cute! Though I'm glad he's carrying a firecracker-rocket rather than a missile-rocket. And I'm glad that's all you're hearing outside your window too.

Happy Independence Day!

That is a very fun picture. You certainly seem to have some stores on that coast that would be so fun to explore.

December? Wow, that's a great find for aF Fourth of July shot!

Well done! We've moved into a 55 plus community so we no longer get fireworks blasting away all night and bottle rockets landing on our roof! Thank goodness!

Would love to see your painting!

He's a nice round-faced Uncle Sam, not the lantern-jawed old meanie from the poster. Good one.

Very nice image, Lily!
I hope your painting is going well and I'd like to see it (if possible) when finished.
Happy Tuesday :-)

Hope you will share your painting, and hope you had a festive Fourth, Lily! Just came by to catch up, as I've
been Internetless down in the VA countryside since last week. Love what you've posted the past several days!
Lily: That was great planning.

ah, this photo just breathes 'Americana' to me. Great vignette.
