Happy 4th of July
as usual… a bit late and behind the curve…what else is new?
Well, for our fourth, we celebrated a tad early by going to a Sea Dogs (minor league baseball in Portland, Maine) game on July 3rd because…as my clever hubby figured out…they were having fireworks! And, the weather was actually a lot better on the 3rd than on the 4th.
I took my camera, and to my amazement tried the “night scenery” setting without a tripod and (after taking nearly 100 shots and deleting over half) ended up with some decent shots and one or two good ones, and some goofs that were actually pretty cool! Imagine what it would be like if I had taken a tripod (I was too tired, rushed and so on this year, but for sure I’ll do that next year!).
Doesn’t this one look like a neon sculpture?

The last two are fantastic. More like modern/abstract art I would say.

The most beautiful 4th we ever spent was in Maine. John was 4 1/2 and we were staying outside Camden. We saw the parade there and then went a little south, I think, of Rockport for the fireworks which was a county-side affair. We were driving along and a man motioned us to pull into his drive. He wanted us to park there. He said he always tried to get people for away to park in his drive. That was so nice. During the parade we wondered what would happen if there was a big fire anywhere around…as all the fire trucks were in the parade from miles around. Maine appears to us fire trucks where Texas uses horses!
Glad you had a great celebration!
