One of my stated goals for this blog was to become more aware of my surroundings. An artist friend of mine is constantly asking me if I've seen particular places or photogenic sights (a particular tree in fall, for instance); I'm hoping that if I pay more attention, I'll be more attuned to these things.
I've known for a while that there's an American Legion post across the street from Forest Hills Station for a while now, but today, as I was stuck in traffic while city workers filled in potholes ahead of me, I happened to glance out my window and saw this flag, made from colored slats inserted in the fence facing Washington Street. And as I gazed at it, I realized I've been going by this spot for the past eight years or so without looking in that direction.
It's not a very impressive sight, but I'm glad that I've learned to pay a little more attention.
