Fourth of July Flag

 

I meant to put up our flag for the Fourth of July in the morning after breakfast.  But we were busy with something and I kept forgetting to put it up.  Finally in the afternoon I went out and climbed up on the porch railing and hung the flag on the hooks I installed in the top of the opening.  After it was hung up, I started looking for ways to photograph it.  I started by shooting through the front door from the inside but shooting through the screen door dulled the flag's colors.  Later on I came up the front porch steps and the late afternoon sun was shining through the flag making the colors brilliant, as you can see here.  And this was my shot!
