Sparrows and Holly

Sparrows and Holly
Vintage Illustration of Sparrows & Holly

I had someone ask if I could find some pictures of birds, especially things like sparrows. Pictures of birds are always useful for clipart projects, so I readily agreed to keep my eye out for some and I hope to find several to add here.

This is one of the first I have found so far...a picture of two, pretty sparrows flying together in front of what looks to be a holly bush to me.

Since I tend to think of holly as more of a winter or Christmas thing, and since some might just want a version without the plants for other reasons, I decided to do version with it edited out, which you can see below.

Old American Flags

Old American Flag with 30 Stars



I meant to post this a little bit earlier. This old flag is from the Ethics of Success Reader that I first started posting images from on this blog when I first started it. But I thought I'd wait until closer to July 4th to post it. It only has 30 stars on it. Apparently this flag became the official flag for the United States on July 4th, 1848www.usflag.org/history/the30starflag.html
