Happy Fourth of July!


 What a blessing to live in the beautiful United States of America!


I thought I would share a few photos from the past.

One of the fun traditions here in our community is the golf cart parade.


I walked over to watch it go by.


And loved all the golf carts that were decorated for the event.


Everyone puts a lot of effort to make it special each year.


My 'critter' for this holiday is the Bald Eagle.


It's a bird we see often here in Florida.

But it's still makes you stop and marvel.


More photos of the parade...


it's makes you feel so proud!


A special thanks to the sheriff's department and the firemen that come out to support us. 


Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

I’m joining Saturday’s critters HERE

  and Mosaic Monday HERE.

We had a golf cart parade earlier today for the 4th. Not as big as the one you have pictured, but well-attended nonetheless.

wow...those are spectacular images of the bald eagle, they are so majestic and awe-inspiring. my nieces neighborhood does the same thing, every year. golf carts, kids on decorated bikes and their local fire truck. my nieces children are too big now and do not want to participate...they went out in their boat and we are not boaters. we have our pool and are staying here, it's quiet and no traffic!!

Hello,
Looks like a great 4th of July celebration, a fun parade.
The eagle is a great national bird, love the photos.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your critter post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

Oh my: had forgotten how popular the "golf cart" parades were in Florida ... but thankfully had not forgotten our amazing and beautiful sightings of bald eagles! Living so near, and often visiting the MI Refuge (and KSC area) they had a huge and longtime, well used nest there where a couple always returned to have and raise their young each year.

Must be so nice to celebrate your own country. And your critter sure fits, too!

RedPat said...
