Handmade Flag Outside a Preschool, Doylestown, PA

PHOTOGRAPH INFO

I took this photo of a handmade flag a few days ago in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, outside a preschool building. Doylestown is the county seat, about 20 miles from Durham Township.

Thank you for visiting Durham Township!

The creaitivity of young minds never ceases to amaze me.

Many hands make light work of the union and country.

I want to hand you some applause for another unique picture with your digit-al camera. I bet it was fun for the kids to make.

Now that I think about it, this may be the only handmade flag I've seen.....but then you have a propensity to find 'n frame such things.....so I'll join JPH in giving you another hand.

Adults who view this beautiful photo would take
some time admiring the creatiivity and all that
went into making it. With the children and their
brilliant young minds it probably took about two
minutes to view and they were off on another
project. Aren't they wonderful.

A great find. The bloody hand prints are a nice symbolic touch. It screams America :)

A particularly powerful image Kathleen. Very touching. It likely evokes different emotions for different people. It reminds me of the children of soldiers overseas who are separated from their families.

I must say, that flag kinda disturbs me. It almost looks like it comes from the blair witch project.

As a former educator, I just love the image! One of the things I think we fail to do anymore in our schools is teach/model and patriotic spirit. We would all do well to stop and look for a minute and remember that the hands that made this will one day lead this country.
