Flying on the Flanders flag pole today is the Irish Provincial Flag. It is not exactly a novelty flag, but it is also not an official flag representing Ireland. It contains the symbols of each of the Provinces of the country. A Province is not the same as our states. And, an Irish province is…

Twenty five years ago, when we were living in Littleton Colorado, my Mom gave us a high quality USA Flag. I decided that we should have a good, 25-30 flag pole right outside our front door. So, I installed one. That is how my hobby of flag study began. One day driving home I noticed…

True, in those days the photographer would doctor the shot so much it had a cadaver quality to it. On Instagram I follow a creative photographer, #colintemplephoto , who has a fantastic eye for…
