3rd of July fireworks

My mother's friend's husband creates incredible firework shows that are timed to music. This year was a breath-taking, heart-pounding, all-american, gasp-inducing show.

A massive flag hung from the fire truck ladder

 I am a terrible fireworks photo-taker

but trust me,

they were gorgeous!

Everyone loved them!

... And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O! say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

The people leaving through the settling smoke created a beautiful light show.
