Flowers on the 4th

It's a tradition in our family to head down to Ogunquit, Maine to watch their great fireworks display. Before the sun set, we walked around Perkins Cove, taking in the sights and visiting the shops. I took some flowery photographs for you to share the lovely gardens and window boxes around the cove, many decorated with patriotic flags for the occasion. Between the festive mood, the pretty little gardens, quaint shops, and the fireworks, we had a memorable 4th of July.
