As I was walking beside the lake at Kernersville Lake Park (Kernersville, NC), a Green Heron flew down and perched on a fallen tree not far away. #birds #birdsofinstagram #birdsofnorthcarolina #waterfowl #waterfowlofinstagram #waterfowlofnorthcarolina #greenheron #greenheronsofinstagram #heronsofinstagram #heronsofnorthcarolina #birdwatching #birdphotography #birdwatching_wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography

As I walked around a nearby park earlier this week, the breeze blowing off of the lake brought a welcome relief from the heat. It also unfurled the Stars and Stripes with a rhythmic snap and displayed the colors proudly against the backdrop of a blue and white sky. As we celebrate Independence Day this weekend, I'm reminded of a quote by President John F. Kennedy in a Fourth of July address at Philadelphia’s Independence Hall in 1962, in which he remarked: “As apt and applicable as the Declaration of Independence is today, we would do well to honor that other historic document drafted in this hall–the Constitution of the United States. For it stressed not independence but interdependence–not the individual liberty of one but the indivisible liberty of all.” Too often we think of freedom as an indulgence of our personal wants, but Peter Marshall, a former chaplain of the United States Senate, said it well in a prayer: "May we think of freedom not as the right to do as we please but as the opportunity to do what is right." May we remember that this Fourth of July and always.
