Simple Pleasure of Summer


Today we are joining Dayle's Simple Pleasures of Summer weekly party from A Collection of This and That. 

A true summer simple pleasure is seeing fireworks.


In childhood, fireworks displays always filled me with excitement.  Around the Fourth of July, the town we lived in always promised a nice display of firepower in the night sky.  My father would let us sit on the roof of my playhouse that was attached to our garage. 


The fireworks took place at a ball park quite a distance from our house but up on our rooftop perch, we were able to see the entire show as if it were on a black movie screen.


Spirals of green;  star bursts of red, white and blue;  double bursts of pink and yellow; and lots of white boomers in between;  all of these made a very exciting evening.


Even now, as an adult, seeing fireworks still fills me with awe.  Wherever a display takes place,  it's impossible for me to keep from ooing and ahing, exclaiming how glorious each explosion is. The little kid in me comes out and claps her hands in sheer joy. She yells a lot, too!


The photos shown today were taken  especially for this blog, this past weekend. Hope you enjoy my night sky photographic efforts!

Now, here's the grand finale!


WHERE DID THE BEST FIREWORKS DISPLAY YOU EVER SAW TAKE PLACE?
