skywatch Friday



Last Saturday I was promised a private
fireworks show in Virginia to rival the Macy's
extravaganza here in NYC.
Well . . . it came pretty darn close!  And not 
for nuthin', I didn't have to take the
subway and fight the crowds to enjoy it
—and the Macy's show never provides me with 
fabulous food and drink and the company of such FUN people.

  1. I know exactly what you mean Alexa, I got to spend a 4th of July once in Vermont watching fireworks over a meadow. I'll never forget it.

  5. Quite a creative shot there!

    A bit disturbing, but you may wish to check my post named Height of Cruelty to know where these crackers came from.

    No offense. The photograph is indeed beautiful :)

  8. Love the contrails in this shot. As if they were left by colorful jets. I especially love the composition of this snap. Happy SWF!
