Tie A Yellow Ribbon
I was wrapping a gift and pulled a page out of an old calendar and used YELLOW ribbon to tighten the packaging. I thought it had a nice ARTSY feel, so I decided to share the concept here as I thought it would make an ideal ‘greeting card’ or ‘print’ too.
A yellow ribbon is a symbol with various meanings, mostly associated with those waiting for the return of a loved one or of military troops who are temporarily unable to come home.
Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

”... a dog in the lap…” (isn’t there a saying like this?)
He’s done his time? Who tied the ribbon?
Who knows, who cares? It’s a peaceful image.

Great photo and enhancement, Michael!
It’s funny, this image brought to mind the day I came home from serving in Viet Nam for one year. I was totally unaware of the “shame and hatrid” that some American citizens felt against the government and the soldiers who served there.
A woman on the plane taking me home, looked at me (in my dress uniform) and asked my destination. I proudly told her that I was coming home from a year’s stint in Viet Nam. She said nothing…then spit in my face.
So I didn’t get the big parades or yellow ribbons…I simply had to hide the fact that I had ever been in Viet Nam, for fear of the hatred being expressed toward me..for something of which I had no control (of course, I could’ve skipped off to Canada, like so many young men were doing.. but that was not me).

If only war was this idyllic … those waiting to return do know its reality … and the yellow ribbon certainly says acknowledges their and their loved one’s dilemma.
