THIS is the flag of NO KINGS HERE. THIS is the flag under which I served, and kept my oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. THIS is the flag--the ONLY flag--that represents what we have imperfectly, but steadily, tried to embody. NO KINGS = LOVE of country.

Posted as reply earlier. Photo by Carol Highsmith at Martin Luther King, Jr., African-American Heritage Rodeo of Champions, this flag has never celebrated a US monarch but represents the entire Republic: ALL of us. WE HAVE NO RULERS, NO KINGS HERE. This is the flag I served under in the USMC.

This flag has NEVER flown over a US "king"...it is the flag of the *whole* nation, here displayed in Denver during Martin Luther King, Jr., African-American Heritage Rodeo of Champions, and chosen here for that reason. Library of Congress collection, photo by Carol M. Highsmith. NO KINGS HERE!

Good advice. We're very VERY dry right now, so the early fall color has turned brown and is crispy on the ground, but the shapes of the tree trunks are beautiful. Also just found Hackberry Emperor butterfly but will need to crop to show it.

ArmadilloCon is this weekend and I will be there, NOT here (home fires not kept burning because it's too hot, but you get the idea) by spouse who is not into SF conventions. I have a new collection to show off (Deeds of Wisdom) and writing friends to meet up with.

Umm....why didn't the picture of the covers get into this??? I took the picture, edited it, and thought I'd entered it into the above post. Let's try this again: A Natural History of the Trees of North America in 2 volumes, eastern & central, western. THERE IT IS.
