We all said they don’t make sparklers like they used to when we were kids. Isn’t that what old people say about the present state of things?
The kids had a blast running around with the dangerous spark and flame-spewing sticks. A familiar smell of gunpowder. Smoke trails across the lawn.
Squealing.
Ruth,
Another nice image.
I have always thought that July 4th would be a great birthday but I never knew anyone personally who had that birthday…Congrats on being another year older!
I must say though I feel sad for your mother dealing with a newborn in July before AC!!!!!!!!!!
Happy belated birthday Ruth E and many more! That picture brings back memories.
Sparklers are so much fun!! They make great birthday candles, too!!
Ruth, Once again you have captured a moment in the magic of childhood—where does it go???? The wellspring of our laughter, creativity, life force…gets layered over and I stay in business helping folks peel off that lamina! Thanks for this photo. Gorgeous children (you are so blessed) in a special moment. Love and happy summer. Lois
Leave it to kids to remind us what holidays are really about! I love how you captured not only motion in this photo but also expression. Look at their faces!
