As sparks flew past me, my children were upset at me for standing too close to the fireworks to take these photos. Sadly, I never did capture a shot that captured the sense of imminent immolation in the name of art, but this photo came closest.

Americana
None of these photos are good enough as "stand alones" to warrant being posted here, but since I forgot to make an Independence Day entry they will do. My favorite is the first, which I took at Grandfather Mountain in NC a few days ago while visiting Justcurious and fam with my fam. I took the fireworks photos with my wife's (even simpler) camera, and they're nothing special. Our fam celebrated the 4th with fireworks with another family here in Rome (it's odd being "liberated" now that I can name my town).

Despite the lack of possibile fire, I really like the first one. The layering of Americana is terrific.
Now if you had gotten a picture of a mom in that first picture, you would have hit the Americana homerun.
That last pic does look like the firework is heading straight for you. You'll have to check out my firework pics.
