And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.

The Signing of the Declaration of Independence

Kids and I went to the Parade, but now it's pouring down rain.
I hope the fireworks don't get rained out.
You?

love the rain but not on the fourth of July! At least you saw the parade.

Going to the hospital, my niece was born today! Then going to watch the fireworks over the harbor in San Diego.

I went to the statue last month and took the good camera with me:
I will upload them into a file later in case anyone wants to see the others to use as desktops.

 

[troubleluvsme]

I'd like to see them.

I'd like to see them.

Here is another from the set.

There are even some artsy ones. Set is of the statue only- I am not in any of them so all may feel free to enjoy them.

Happy 4th everyone! Going to 2 barbeques to get my party on

 

[troubleluvsme]

Those pictures are breathtaking, Buzzetta.

Thank you.

 

[Buzzetta]

Thanks. I am thinking of going back in a few weeks once they reopen the crown to get some shots of the skyline or take my bike through the city and over the Brooklyn Bridge - I have to look into a bike pass for the train.

I was watching the news yesterday and they showed the inside and the view from up there...WOW. I definitely want to go.
It sounds like a long hot climb to the top.

Happy 4th to you all. Spent a lot of time at the pool with my duaghter, then we will be off to the park to watch some fireworks.

I must admit that I find it a bit disturbing that the neighbors down the far end of the block are putting on what looks to be a professional fireworks display. We are not talking light stuff here. Glass is shaking from the booms. They cleared all the cars away and they set up something in the street that you usually see on barges around NYC. Actually I do not know what I find more disturbing that they seemingly had these fireworks stored in their homes leading up to today. Or that they are allowing some of their kids to light the fuses. OR that the police have not shown up as fireworks are banned in NY State.

I think this may be the year that someone gets a hand blown off .

Either way I am on my way out soon and will be taking my car with me.

Have fun all.
