Full time patriot, Mission Beach, San Diego, California, 2010

This home, near Mission Bay, juxtaposes a starless wooden flag with a window wreath made out of painted red, white, and blue bells, wrapped in tiny flag streamers, most likely as symbols of the owner’s own patriotism.

Thanks, Iris, for the ironic view of this image. I did not intend this image as a metaphor on our government, hamstrung by deadlock and political combat. However I do see my images as catalysts to thought, and if this photograph makes you think of a besieged government, so be it.

The flag appears to be between a rock and a hard place.........much like our government!
