Today is a reminder that the work of protecting our country never ends. Democracy isn’t something we inherit and then forget about. Every generation has to decide whether it will stand up for it.

Happy Independence Day to all who celebrate - from Woodstock, New York! ❤️🤍💙🧡💜💛💚 #statueofliberty #justiceforall #pride #democracy #freedom #liberty #woodstock #hudsonvalley #newyork #photography

#Insect #Butterfly #BlueSkyMonday During a sunny break, there were many of these little blue butterflies on the wild strawberry blossoms.

An absolutely glorious day. 💚💙

Sat down near the end of the hike and drank some tea and dozed for a few minutes. This was the view when I woke up. #Hiking #Photography #Scape #ForestFriday #Bluebells #EastCoastKin #Ireland
