Happy Fourth of July!

As Luke's wife, I decided I had spent enough time watching him have all the fun with the camera, that I had learned enough through observation, and that it was time for me to try my hands at this photography business! In the previous posting, I could take credit for only a few of the photos, so this is really my first official posting. Over 4th of July weekend we went to East Haddam, CT to see Gillette Castle and then to Essex, CT for lunch and a visit. Lots of people were flying flags, so I decided to theme my photos. Taken 7/3/2011.
