Fireworks

Last night was a blast, literally.  Tons of good people, good food, good music.  Eating, talking, and dancing.  The kids had a blast playing on the nearby hill and our bug was busy running around the adults dancing to the music and avoiding my camera at all costs.  The first set of fireworks were professionally done and amazing.  Tons of color in the sky at one time and right over head.  They were so close it wad difficult for me to get a ton of good shots, but my new camera was able to capture a few.  Not sure I am 100% pleased, but not bad for my first attempt at getting fireworks.  I added a few different pictures from last night over one of my shots.  The 'bug' is so tough to clean up.  Her hair is so wild and curly it makes it difficult to get a good clear 'tube' of her to put over any picture but all in all it gets the idea of a good time across. 

 

I won't get into the second set of fireworks.  Lets just say so many people in a fairly small space, too much alcohol, and drinking in the heat for hours doesn't add up to anything but trouble.  No one was arrested, no one hurt badly, and it's over and done with.  Relationships will have to be mended and I hope they can.  Some very harsh words were spoken and we all know bruises heal, but words cut and sting for a very long time. 

 

Today we are staying put.  Steak on the grill and a small quiet celebration.  I hope everyone has a great day today!

She is so precious and photogenic!!  She must get her curly hair from you, huh? (ha)  Glad you had such a good time, except for the alcohol related incidents....why do people do that to themselves and end up endangering others?  Geeze!!

Take Care,

The bug is so cute, she looks like a firecracker.  Yes alcohol and fireworks never mix.  Amazing how nasty people can become when under the influence.  Linda
