OK I think I’ve got one. No idea if this has been used in the past but I’ll go with this (but if it’s been used in the past let me know and I can come up with another theme). **Monthly Photo Competition #32 — July, 2025 — Patriotism** And yes, thank you @Mean_Mr.Mustard for coordinating these! I don’t care what the others here say about you, you ain’t all that mean. 😉 ---
