Fireworks Show

Every Independence Day there's a run of pictures in the papers, of fiery streaks against a black sky.  I'm going to best them two ways: first, there won't be a black sky in the background and second, I'm publishing on the actual day.

What good are fireworks against a light sky, you ask?  Well, not much good.  But I'm not doing actual fireworks.  If you'll recall, we gave Sweetie a camera for Mother's Day and she's been really putting that thing to work.  Sweetie takes walks in the evening after work, shooting pretty much whatever strikes her fancy.  Mostly her fancy turns out to be super macro closeups of flowers and insects, and the results are like living in the editing room at National Geographic.

On with the show:

Ooh!

Aah!

Yay! (applause)

(crackle)

Ooh!

(crackle)

Aah!

Hooray!

All pictures by Sweetie

That's it from me.  Everyone have a safe and happy Independence Day, thank a soldier, don't drink and drive.
