every 4th pb puts on an amazing demonstration of pyrotechnics in his back yard. good food, great friends and this year had the added bonus of fabulous music…. it’s a real “blast” – [har, har].

pb annually takes advantage of the fact that i am a photographer who doesn’t own as nice of a camera as he does and cheerfully offers, “you can use my camera if you want to take pictures”.  he doesn’t think i know this, but the truth behind his generosity that his hands are full blowing things up and he can’t take them himself – - but he still wants pictures . so, of course i took him up on his offer. and since last year i didn’t get to see them for several days [much less edit them], i took the cf card so i could have first view and first edit!  .

about 11 o’clock i get a text…. ‘did you take my cf card?’  [he he he]

about 9 o’clock the next morning i sent him a text…. ‘check your front door’.  [it was an empty cf card.  lol. more texts ensued.  it was fun.]

so, i fully intended to post these way before now.  here you go pb.  these are the best of the best.  thank you for letting me use your camera!!!!

[you know you’ll ask — ‘er, i mean…. let, me do it again next year.}
