First of all, I'd like to thank all our readers for their responses to my Father's Day blog (posted on June 17). I'm glad my memory of my dad helped trigger so many pictures from your past, too.

Here we are at another special day, the Fourth of July, a holiday that I'm sure is setting off many memories of its own--remembrances of cookouts with hotdogs and hamburgers; parades and fireworks; and flags flying high and snapping in the breeze, proudly flaunting their stars and stripes in red, white, and blue.
What comes to mind when you see those three colors?
You think for a minute about your choices; meanwhile, I'll tell you mine.
Red ~ fresh, juicy, ripe strawberries--especially since I'm being more careful about eating well and have discovered how much I love them.
White ~ diamonds! How could I leave them off the list--you know they're a girl's best friend! (grin)
Blue ~ a newborn baby's eyes, so innocent and clear.
Those are three favorite items that come to me when I think about red, white, and blue.
Now, how about you?
All my best to you,
Barbara

Barbara, this is a fun idea!
Let's see...
Red-watermelon
White-puffy clouds in an otherwise perfect blue sky
Blue-Blue streamers hanging off the floats in our town's parade.
Hope you have a great day!

Red - strawberries
White - bed sheets
Blue - the clear blue sky
Shelley - good ideas!
Isn't it funny how easy it is to picture all these things?

Wow, Barbara, Since we're talking about these colors in conjunction with the fourth, my take is a bit more serious.
Red equates bravery and sacrifice, blue symbolizes truth struggling for co-existence with tranquility, white embraces justice, honor and above all else hope.
I have to say red represents the blood shed for our freedom; blue, hope for the future; and white, purity of thought to do what is right.
Donnell - serious or silly, it all has meaning, and that's what counts.
Very appropriate thoughts for the Fourth. Thanks for posting.

Hi Barbara, I'm on the other side of the world, so I'm thinking more a winter theme:
Red: the blazing fire in my fireplace
White: the sheets of rain and the hail
Blue: the endless sky on a crisp morning.
Cool game. :)
Rachel - how cool that you stopped by from the other side of the world!
Thanks for your comments - you've given me much cheerier images to think about during a seasion I don't like very much. ;-)
