- Very nice lens! On the 4th of July this year, we marched in a neighborhood parade near my Mother-in-law's house. After the parade was over, we all stuck the ends of the American flags we'd been waving into her garden up near the street. That way others could enjoy seeing them waving in the breeze too, as they drove past. It looked really nice, I thought! (Although I have to admit: I'm not the one that originally thought of it!)
