PG 101 Theme Entry


Beatles Song


Today, September 26, 2008 is the day I will be sworn in as a United States Citizen. This image makes me look back to all the trials and tribulations that I have to endure to achieve such goal and be proud to say that "I dream of becoming one and now, I have arrived"



Image taken at the World's Famous Copa Cabana Beach, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.


Still very busy at work, will not be able to comment, hoping for all your considerations, my BP family!

Dominick, I didn't realize that it had been so relatively recent that you'd become a citizen in the US. A much belated welcome to you. I do love the sense and feel of this image, with the single figure there contemplating the misty, golden scene. #10688378

Michele Peterson level-classic May 11, 2013

Beautiful, Dominick. When you first uploaded it with the celebration of becoming a US citizen, it certainly fit the occasion. Now, looking back, I'm sure it still fits to remember that "Yesterday". Great idea for the theme, too!! #10689871

Nikki McDonald level-classic May 11, 2013

Beautiful "retro" tones and misty feel to this image, Dominick - most appropriate to the title. #10690155
