And the bombs bursting in air...

So. We went on a firework-photo-spot hunt tonight and I must say - we found the most incredible place to shoot. Right across the river from the place they shoot them off - no obstuctions. Of course, we had to walk in the dark through grass and weeds, under a barbed-wire fence (which some guy was holding for us) and... we were the only ones that were not fluent in Spanish. But it was a blast and really, I think I'd do the same thing again next year.
I am still not getting the hang of this 'shooting at night' stuff but, in my defense, it was so incredibly windy that I had a hard time holding the camera and tripod still. These are my favorite shots though:

Off to Idaho

Memorial Day Weekend in Couer d'Alene, Idaho to stay in a lakeside cabin - with all six kids! Way too much fun. :) The lake was flooded, but we still managed to have a good time.

This "honey bucket" just cracks me up. We went exploring and found this at a great little fishing spot. Love the name. heh.

Note the water level here. :)

Rainbows & Sunsets

Beautiful sunsets and rainbows go hand in hand... it astounds me how orange the sunsets are here, though.
