Cherished Blogfest – One Photo – #CBF17

October 21, 2017 · by John W. Howell · in Cherished Blog Fest · 28 Comments

The Cherished Blogfest is an annual blogfest where we share something we cherish in a blog post. This blogfest began in 2015, and well over 100 people came together to share words, photos, poetry, and thoughts about a cherished item. Many of us established new blog friendships, which continue to this day.

I took a photo which I published on one of my Views of the Neighborhood feature which is now a cherished item. It captures the spirit of our city, Port Aransas hit hard by Hurricane Harvey. No more words are needed.

Powerful, John. It marks time, doesn’t it. Before and after Harvey, one constant – the spirit of Texas captured in its flag.

I certainly understand why this would be a cherished photo, John. I was moved when I saw that when you first posted it. What a spirit you guys are showing through this storm and its aftermath. Nice choice – thanks for joining us.
