My 'upstairs' neighbor loves to put on his own fireworks show instead of heading to town to be in a huge crowd.
This year it worked well to our advantage. Their family gathered in one spot and I was able to walk down the road to find a vantage point to have some photography fun.
There was plenty of air and distance between us [yes it was hot and muggy but what would the 4th be like if it were cold?].
Justin just gets better each year at picking out fireworks and designing safe ways to set them off.
I take the time each year to learn more and more about photographing them.
The above shot was taken in the full moon light. I stood for 10 seconds in front of the camera and then walked away. I added some fireworks.
So there were the fireworks!
It was a very different day. The morning was the graveside service for MIL and there was a small gathering of friends. Lots of masks even in the heat.
This long chapter is over now. MIL no longer is in pain. There was a sense of closure and relief even more so because until the last 3 days of her life we were not allowed to see her because of Covid-19 restrictions.
However we move on.
Looks like a nice graveside service. You and Rich are the old folk now. What a great fireworks show:)
ReplyDeleteAh! Okay I guess we are in a way. He is the last of the Ewing males in his 'line' so to speak. He says that makes him the Boss Man. I had to laugh. I think he meant Patriarch?
DeleteI am so sorry for your loss, your kindness shines through in the blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you. MIL was always exceptionally patient and kind to me and that is all I could do to return the favor.
