july 4th...

we spent july 4th relatively quietly... a bbq with the young marrieds group from church, followed by the fireworks show in lynnwood. not quite as spectacular as the lake union show we usually see, but still pretty fun. i've been looking forward to having my camera out for fireworks, and i rather like a handful of the photos that i caught:

technically, the first one is terribly "overexposed" (for fireworks, anyway), but i love how that overexposure brought out the sky and the clouds.

the picnic was fun - food was great, company even better. i love this group of people, and i love that every time we get together, i meet someone new. that's awesome. now, if only i didn't have to wait a year to work with my camera and fireworks again...
