while watching the olympic opening ceremony last night i wondered what countries might have red, yellow and blue flags. because those are my new bathroom colors i figured that they must be the colors of some damn team, but then i figured they had to also be the colors of some countries.
boy, are they. romania, chad, liechtenstein, moldova, yugoslavia, mongolia, to name just a very few.
here are a few of my favorites:
these three flags are from different places in catalonia, spain.
this is the flag of the duchy of lancaster. it’s my favorite, and i’m thinking of painting it on my yellow wall. or perhaps i could make a flag like it…or better yet, maybe i can find one online and order it, because who am i kidding, i’m never going to paint anything this complicated; it took me two and a half hours yesterday to just paint some pieces of trim.
this flag is from the dutch municipality of hardenburg, in case you were wondering. it’s also cool, but not enough red for my walls. but it’d be a lot easier to re-create than all those lions, wouldn’t it?
i’m babysitting numie and noodle right now and have taken too many cute photos of them and hopefully will get them posted pretty soon. right now i’m just trying to get numie not to destroy too many things, plus making sure noodle is ok. mollie is very wound up because they’re here and keeps barking at nothing outside.
ok then,
saturday grace.
