<p>Great time of year, lots of canning to do.</p><div></div>

<p>It is the end of summer and the 4-H fairs are sprouting all over. Each of the "kids" has high hopes of winning, but more importantly they are learning many life lessons.</p><div></div>

<p>Also a time of year when fireworks abound. I made evry mistake possible the night I took this shot -- ISO set way too high, wrong lens to get full shots, aperture not closed down as far as it should have been, and to long on the exposures. But, I did get a few workable shots.</p><div></div>

<p>Another in my series of "zen"versions created from fireworks.</p><div></div>

<p>Rick the peaches look like you could just bite into them and have the juices running down your chin. Nice shot!</p>

<p>Thanks Charles - Keep the Zen coming.</p>

<p>Charles - I really like that zen</p>

<p>John and Rick, Thank you for the comments and encouragement. If you go to <a href="../photodb/folder?folder_id=1037052">http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=1037052</a> you can see the full collection to date (there will be more). I would be interested in yor feelings about which ones work and which do not and why. - Charles</p>
