Block Party - Fourth of July, 2010.
The evening started out cloudy but dry. After an hour or so of lighting smoke bombs, sparklers, and other assorted fireworks it began to rain. You know kids, they are experts at making lemonade with lemons of life....if the adults in their lives leave them at it... :)

Early morning BEAUTY! Taken on my way to Topeka Friday morning. I love the lighting and the long shadows. Such nice compassion. I like the TALL tree framing the edge of pic two and the fence and timber line framing the first pic.
