Freedom Post

I thought that I would take a moment to simply wish you a wonderful 4th, which is in a few days. Be safe and have fun. Take advantage of the freedom that was given to you by the actions of men long ago. Take a moment and let your kids know what your freedom means to you. Pass on your appreciation of freedom and the sacrifices that were made to ensure you still have it. Do this so our next generation understands that the 4th of July is about so much more than fireworks and BBQs. Tomorrow's wallpaper post will include the complete text of our country's Declaration of Independence so come back tomorrow and take a moment to read it and download a beautiful wallpaper of our nation's flag.

4th of July Preview

Close Enough to Taste 

Last night was our night to celebrate our independence with our kids. We invited our good friend Liz and her niece Kiersten over for some homemade pizza and fireworks.

Blinding Flashes

There are so many ways to shoot fireworks. This year I chose to allow the fireworks to do all of the movement.

I placed my camera on the tripod and triggered it with a remote.

Fun and interesting images resulted.

Enjoy the rest of the evening's images below.
