Allsorts - celebration of nations

This week at Allsorts the theme is Celebration of Nations. It can be flag colours or a tribute to your favourite country =). I chose an image by Thomas Kinkade, a truly talented artist that makes the most fantastic paintings, sometimes featuring the American flag, very suitable for this challenge =). This image is from a desk calendar which means I have 364 more images to choose from =). No, on second thought, I used an image for a birthday card for my dad last summer so there's only 363 left...
