Fireworks on the Fourth

We walked to a viewing location for fireworks last night - spraying ourselves with insect repellent to deter mosquitoes. I already had enough bites from earlier in the week!

The fireworks were scheduled from 9:30-9:45 PM. The display started with a few 'test' sequences....a long pause between them; we begam to think the fireworks were going to be a 'dud' --- but then the more connected bursts of booms and light commenced.My monopod stabilized my camera well enough to capture some of the 'light' portion of the show (even though the power lines were between our viewing location and the fireworks)…and I am enjoying the fireworks again this morning as I prepared this slideshow. Hope everyone had a great 4th of July celebration!
