Day 185 - Independence Day


What a privilege it is to be an American! With each pop and crackle of the firework show, my heart burst with pride and thankfulness that I live in the land of the free and the home of the brave!

This was one shot. No overlapping editing done.

Fantastic photo, Misty! It makes me feel like I was there.

I stayed home on the 4th and had a couple of lady friends over. Crazy thing is, I forgot to even take out my camera. lol What was I thinking!!! I'm so glad I get to see the fireworks through other people's pics.
