Independence Day

This is not a picture that was taken in Riley County, but I wanted to put it up anyway. It seemed appropriate that this be used as Independence Day approaches.

I shot this one in Washington D.C. a few years back. This was taken from the west side of the capitol building.

This is a good time to remember the past, and look forward to the future. Every American should understand what is in the U.S. Constitution, and the intent of the framers. There are many good online resources to help with this – constitution.org and usconstitution.net are good starting places.

While you are visiting usconstitution.net, take the time to hit hit the links about the Declaration of Independence. I am constantly amazed at the willingness the signers had to commit themselves to this. We are the beneficiaries of their resolve.

If only we were to live our lives with a similar commitment to the things we believe.

Happy July 4, everyone!
