Happy Independence Day!

This post is a couple days late, but we should always celebrate and remember freedom, right? Since July 4th came on a Monday this year, I had all my picnicking and barbeques and summer fun wrapped up by the time Monday night came along for the local fireworks. Still, I decided to walk around the corner in my neighborhood to catch the fireworks in the park. I loved seeing signs of patriotism displayed on my walk.

Since I am only a camera phone photographer, I am not sure these photos capture all the beauty of the ever-fleeting dusk. But the clear skies, the second before the street lights turn on, the summer air on my summer skin, the sliver of the moon, the amber shadows - I couldn't ask for a better "feeling".

And then, from across the street:

Thanks to all those that have and continue to protect our freedoms of this country! We appreciate it. -A

There is Always Evidence

It is winter in NE Ohio. Two days following an almost 60 F day (really, it is always unseasonably something here and this fact will more than likely get mentioned again each season, at least once), the skies were blue. A rarity, but I love it. And the evidence that it is still winter? Icicles on the cliff. Also, it was more than half the temperature today (close to 25ish, not counting the windchill), but it was still beautiful outside. -A
