Patriotic Series, The American Dream

As America celebrates her birthday this week, I think this picture reflects the American 
Dream. Our nation was founded on God-given rights and freedom from tyranny
 so that its citizens might have the opportunity to pursue their dreams.  
 
 
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. 
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
 It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
 or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
 and our children's children what it was once like in the United States
 where men were free."
Ronald Reagan
40th president of US

I really like the photo. And those pink rocking chairs... I would sit there, relax and observe.

Is that your house? It's beautiful.

Regards from Barcelona.

Thanks, Aiketa, but it's not my house! Sure wish I did have a front porch with a rocking chair!
