If you did not see picture 1, you will want to go there to read what Flag Day is about. June 14th is the day that old and worn out American flags are retired with dignity, ceremony and honor. Our Girl Scout troop performs this ceremony each year. It is a very spiritual and moving ceremony. This year we retired almost 50 flags that were gathered from our community. It is a lot of work and the process took us several hours. Each flag has to be disassembled. The red stripes are put into the fire first, then the whites stripes. Finally the blue field is given up. My daughter tried to capture some of this with her camera.
Please give your opinion of her photo. Also, click on the photo and rate it. Thank you.

You can tell your daughter that both pictures are really great. I really like both of them.
They've got a sad appeal to them too. Great emotional effect!

Thank you so much for sharing your view. I will let her know your thoughts. She just got a brand new Nicon DSLR this week. She has already taken over 500 new photos. So we will be going through those and I will post some so we will be able to maybe see the difference between the cheap Sony and the expensive Nicon. Oh, by the way, she named the new camera "Lance". LOL
