“O Beautiful for Spacious Skies…”

Today, America celebrates its 249th official birthday. So it seemed like a good time to share some photos themed on that line from America the Beautiful.” My wife and I took all but of few of these in the last few years. Happy Independence Day!

    The eye in the tree is cool. So is the spooky bridge. Sorry, I should be captured by the bigger things, I guess. Thanks for all the photos. Hope you’re having a happy Fourth!

    Mitch, last night on the Boston Pop’s annual 4th of July concert, there was a poet telling the story of the woman who wrote the song, as the music played in the background. It was absolutely wonderful and gave new, real meaning to the song and also the author. This was Milly the quilter’s favorite patriotic song. I hope she was listening from above last night.

  25. Lots of beauty and wonder in Our Country. Thanx for sharing, Mitch.

  26. Love the photos! Beautiful!

  27. Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos, Mitch. As someone who lives in New Zealand, is there a reason for the cover over the bridges?
