weekly winners: fourth of july

July 4-10, 2010
We had a busy fourth of July! Bike ride, brunch, art and music street fair by day, BBQ and fireworks by night. Like last year, we were invited to a friend-of-a-friend’s in-laws’ waterfront home to watch the show!
Of course, I didn’t bring a tripod so most of my photos looked like this:
But I kept trying!
Even though I was using a point-and-shoot, I managed to do this on purpose:
The finale:
The fireworks show was a bit odd this year. There was a finale. And then they kept shooting off more. And then there was another somewhat smaller finale. And a few more random bursts …
And then it was over. But the neighbors kept it going. They put on a pretty good show, too!

I love the one you did “on purpose.” It reminds me of a broach.

I love all the fire work pictures going around, the one you did “on purpose” is really neat, but the rest are cool too!
