The neighborhood fireworks weren’t as numerous as last night, which sounded like a battlefield causing my cat to hide. There were some professional firework events tonight for people to celebrate the 4th of July.

Fireworks for the Fourth

The sky tonight was filled bursting lights from fireworks and in some places, nature’s lightning added to the sky show.

There was a brief snow shower that dropped huge flakes from the sky today, but in six months the warmer skies will have lights falling in the sky instead.

July Fireworks

The ‘fireworks’ in my yard this evening were from fireflies, although some must have thought it was too hot for flying as they were perched on limbs as they flashed their lights to the croaking of the frogs in the pond. Many Independence Day activities were canceled this year, including firework displays but there were plenty of neighborhood fireworks going off, which had my cat hiding until the booms stopped.

For some people, nature provided its own form of fireworks today with lightning and thunder, but others attended planned 4th of July celebrations with fireworks lighting up the evening sky.

The Fourth’s Fireworks

The political importance of Independence Day may have declined as the 4th has become more as an occasion for family parties, barbecues and fireworks.

Fireworks on the 4th

Fireworks, parties and grilling out are common events for the 4th of July holiday. And with the 4th on a Tuesday this year, the various towns fireworks celebrations have been spread out on different days. Although I didn’t like the jerk who was shooting off fireworks at 2 am this morning or definitely didn’t like the idiot, who was shooting some off before the professional firework display started, since it malfunctioned and sent debris flying at the car I was sitting in.
