In honor of the January 25 birthday of Scottish poet Robert Burns my first two images include checked tartans.
Striped lighthouses and Striped American Flags.

Wonderful choices Beth – I absolutely LOVE your Scottish tartan shots – what a fond memory for me! And I’d never have thought of including Bryce but of course that’s a terrific striped example from nature. Nicely done.

Tina, I have to confess that the dancing girls are from the Savannah Scottish Games a few years ago. I just love their colorful tartans and had to include it.

All your pics are wonderful, Beth! Your zebra butterfly is amazing! I LOVE the Scottish dancers (my heritage). My clan is Donald which was an Irish Sept. It’s green and quite striking!
