Fireworks at Joe Palaia Park for the USA's Independence Day! Viewed from a slightly distant supermarket parking lot with all kinds of trees and power lines in the way.* I had loads of company in that parking lot--many families threw little tailgate parties for the event. Due to the limited visibility, though, I heard sarcastic teenagers-who'd-been-dragged-along comments, like "OH MY GOD! THE FIREWORKS ARE AMAZING!" when the explosions didn't quite clear the trees.

*Okay, technically, I was in the middle of a field that I probably shouldn't have been in. Okay, technically technically I wasn't in the middle-- I was about 12' away from the edge of Route 35. But I did park in that parking lot.

Well technically you got some great photos! I am in favor of only taking one teenager with me to events like this...they seem to egg on the negativity of those in their group.

Great photos! I'm entirely jealous of you, I didn't really get any 4th photos that I was looking forward to. I've been doing "wedding" stuff for this one I'm attending essentially constantly!

Hope you had a fun 4th!
