Okay. Who stole the weekend? It just hit me that today is Thursday…and not Tuesday. And that means I forgot to share the answer from last week’s game. Yup. I lost some days this week. Nope. Not a drop of alcohol was involved. It’s more to do with excessive heat and humidity. When it comes to weather, my poor brain is unable to comprehend numbers higher than 79. So when the first digit in the temperature starts with a 9, the zombie in me takes over.
What was that thing? Does this picture make it more obvious?
It is…a firework (it just doesn’t look or sound right without the ‘s’). Yup. After downloading (uploading?) the contents of my camera from a spectacular display I saw on June 9th, I looked at this and laughed. What in the world definitely fits this one!
There was actually only one person who guessed the correct answer, and that was a 12 year old cousin. And now that I’ve had to add an extra post this week, I’ll share some of the prettier pictures.
Even with my camera set on ‘fireworks’ mode, they don’t come out exactly as we see them, but I still love the pictures.
Cool pics of the fireworks! I didn’t know cameras had that option. I was so close! Well, maybe next week. I’m loving this, by the way.
Thanks, Tameri! I’m glad you’re enjoying the game. I have to admit that I’m super excited about the next couple of weeks. Especially since people are going to see a side of me they’ve never seen before. At least on the blog. 🙂
Fireworks are not always the easiest images to capture on camera Kristy. But do love the ones above. It’s almost the 4th, so there’s a lot more fireworks to come! 🙂
Thanks, Karen. 🙂
We’re very fortunate to live in the area we do. So far, in the past three weeks, I’ve seen two displays in two different cities. Then there will be a couple of more in July (the 4th and a fireman’s festival at the end of the month). And likely one or two more in August. I love fireworks! 🙂
My pictures of fireworks always turn out like crud. Yours turned out fabulous. I still like my answer though. Thor’s hammer with the lightening. 😀
Like I told MJ…my daughter won the fight over the camera that night, so all credit for how they turned out goes to her.
And I like the Thor theory, too. I’d forgotten you did mention lightning…so you win for last week. 🙂
I think your pics came out great. I’ve tried taking fireworks, but it’s so much about timing it perfectly.
Thanks, MJ. 🙂
I can’t take credit for these pictures though. My daughter and I fight over the camera all the time. She won that night. Probably a good thing. 🙂
Nobody stole the weekend it melted like the wicked witch in Oz 🙂
No, that’s what I’ve been doing the past few days. Thank God it’s cooling down. Hopefully it will last the entire 10 days in the forecast. 🙂
