Hiya, friends. (I don’t really say “hiya” in real life. Do you?)
I hope you all had a great time celebrating the 4th and if you don’t live in the United States, I hope you had fun photographing patriotism. I love that patriotism exists everywhere.
At least, we hope it does.
Here are my shots.
After a storm.

Our little firecracker. (who pretty much loved everything about fireworks except that they kept him up so late each night!)

And of course. The parade. A flag. Proud veterans.

Now it’s your turn to share!

Oh Beth, that first flag shot is absolutely beautiful! I just love the light. Thanks for the link-up!
Nope, I sure don’t say Hiya in real life…I said it once and it felt weird.
Great photos, as always!

Thanks for signing up with linkytools so we get to see thumbnails of all the entries. Much better!
Great captures! That little man is too cute. I like the thumbnail linkytools, too!
Love your little firecrackers.
I always love how your images are so different yet all perfect for the theme. Love the angle/perspective of the last one, the cuteness of the second one and the lighting in the first one!

Love that angle of your parade shot- so interesting! Eli looks so cute with his little shirt!
What a cute little firecracker you have there! Love the shirt. And YAY, there are thumbnails now…. how fun ;D

Actually, yes. I have said hiya several times. When I studied abroad in England “hiya” is how all of my friends greeted each other. You would fit right in!
