Peace sign t-shirt, beautiful flowers

I don't know why I am stuck on this peace sign thing lately. I think the war is just really beginning to get to me. I had this idea to create a peace sign out of flowers. I am very proud of this new peace sign t-shirt. The womens t-shirt version is shown right, however tank tops, cami's and children's tees are also available. I don't think that men's versions are necessary this time. This tee is not personalizable, however if a customer really needs a name added, I can be contacted through the email form at City Prints, and I will do my best to get it made.

I went to the beach yesterday. It was the first time my wee 5 month old baby saw the ocean. He was amazed. Just sat there and stared at the breaking waves. It was beautiful yesterday, about 73 degrees at the water line. I wish I would have brought my camera. We were out to dinner, so I didn't think about it. But the sun was so low in the sky, it was around 6:30 pm, so beautiful. My husband snapped a quick pic with his cell phone camera. It's really ashame the quality is not better with those things. I know I will go to the beach a million times this summer. But we were the only ones there, and it was so beautiful, and the sea was so calm, and you could see for miles.

More soon.

4th of July Peace Sign T-shirt

Tired of wearing the usual Old Navy flag shirts every 4th of July, I have spent the last couple of years creating my own flag t-shirt designs, many of which can be found in the shop links in my sidebar. However this year, I wanted something different, something to reflect the times, especially for my new little one. So I created this peace sign t-shirt, with an American flag design.

This American flag t-shirt, along with the other one available in this gallery, can be completely personalized (front side, back side...or both sides). You can choose your own fonts, and your own font colors. There are also many t-shirt styles and colors to choose from, however this design looks best on pale colors. The white part of the flag shows up as clear, with the color of the shirt being in it's place, so white tees work best.

I use my gallery mainly for photography, and don't like to junk it up with graphic design t-shirts.... however the ability to customize my shirt this year made it irresistalbe to me. I think it is important this 4th of July to do more than just watch fireworks. Independence Day is about celebrating our freedom. I think many Americans who have lived here their whole lives, don't realize how lucky we are, and how valuable what we have here really is. However, in these troubled times, I would personally like to see America go back to being a peaceful nation. It is possible to be an American, and still wish for peace. I know many are finding it hard to have American pride right now. But this too shall pass. This will be but a blip in our nation's history (I hope).

I hope some of my regular blog readers will consider a message of peace this July 4th.

Spring Arrives

Spring has finally arrived, and all around me are opportunities to photograph the new life around me. The trees are beginning to lose their blooms already, and before you know it, summer will be upon us. This photograph was taken last week near my home. There were hundreds of blooming trees to choose from, but this one with the row of flowering trees behind it caught my eye. I will be making this print available in my gallery later this week.
