July Contest Entry
Click on photo to see larger image.
This is the flag in my yard, a firetruck we saw in Bowie while shopping, a firework I set off this evening up on our cul de sac -- probably woke half the neighbors - I didn't know it was going to make noise! LOL! And the Seahorse is our answer to those crazy cows! Two years ago each school in our county was given one of them to paint. This one was done by the kids at the school where I work, and it later sat in front of my favorite library ... until it was auctioned off on Ebay! (I thought we should keep them in the county -- but the auction was to raise money for our school's art departments. A good cause - but I miss the seahorses!)

Oh, you have some really great photos, Melli. The seahorse is so unique! I would have never expected to see a RW&B seahorse~ those kids did a fab job on painting and I hope it brought high doller on the auction. Firework stands are popping up everywhere, here!
Thanks for entering the contest. You're entry number is 35! I wish you the best in the drawing (which will be July 3rd).

Melli, these are wonderful photos and an interesting story behind each. I'm not sure what the contest is, but I think that YOU should win. :)
Btw, I've dropped 7 pounds since your marathon weekend. The last few days have been a challenge, what with the anniversary dinner out, food at the ballpark, and dinner out tonight. But I'll be right back on track tomorrow. I'm determined to eat better and lose this belly fat before October. So thank you again for the motivation. You are one super lady.

What a great entry! We have "Horses on Parade" in my area, the Sea Horses look like a similar thing.
I stopped by to say thanks for playing in the Blog Olympics Training Camp!

Oh Melli! These pictures are truly what the Fourth of July is about! It looks like they could be models for a Norman Rockwell painting.
