The perseverance of the flag, still flying beautifully in the wind, its tattered edges making it more beautiful, more well-loved than it would if it were in perfect condition; it is a reflection of life as it is actually lived..a bit ragged at times, but still beautiful.

I think the boat was pretty full! Of course there was my tribe (husband, 3 kids and my twin cousins) helping the numbers stack up... Thanks, Rosemarie. I think the boat was pretty full!

I certainly enjoyed joining in, and I'll make a point of doing so from now on! I think one of the things that I like about the frayed edging of the flag is that it emphasises that it's a working flag. In all weathers (and believe me, Scotland gets a lot of weather!) that flag will be flying, and that thought fills me with a certain amount of pride. I like to think it's symbolic of the stoicism and the determination of the Scottish people. I may be romanticising it a bit, but if you can't romanticise on your own blog, where can you!?

And you're right that the frayed edges of the flag, fluttering against the sky, paints a stirring picture. There's lots that is good in this photo...the pristine water, a summer sky, the excitement of approaching an island! A family outing on a summer afternoon? It's all good!

The island in the distance calls "adventure" to me. I like the shadings of the clouds. Who knew there were that many shades of gray? Calm water is something I enjoy (I can almost hear it lapping against the boat. The Scottish flag? Though I hate to see it frayed, it's lovely. Though frayed, the flag endures. Thanks for playing along! I'll go link you! Both photos are intriguing. The island in the distance calls “adventure” to me. I like the shadings of the clouds.
