Well so I had a terrific fourth of July and hope everyone else did too. I found myself at my grandparents house out in the country early that after noon before fireworks. I was able to catch 2 humming birds male and female. I also was able to see a Bumble Bee hard at work. Not to mention a pretty cool  sunset. Right before the fireworks. Now these are four photos of fireworks I took, also they are the first shots I have ever taken of fireworks. I thought they came out neat, aside an uneven horizon, due to my silly tripod.

Iron Bunny

I rescued this poor creature from the cats, who were dragging it around their scratching post. I think they were finished with it anyway, as I'm sure they realized it contained no meat.

Here's a fun photomanipulation/collage I made out of props and backgrounds:

I vow to live fully in each moment,

and to look at all being with eyes of compassion
