<p>Sure, I could have had the camera on a tripod and given my best try at some of the big league local fireworks displays. But it was a rainy mess here in the DC area! Instead, we cooked off a handful of ancient backyard-style pyrotechnics we found in the garage. Here's a bit of an abstraction involving a classic smoke worm. Happy Nikon Wednesday AND (if you're in the US) Independence Day. Share some photos!</p><div></div>

<p>As usual on Independence day, Castleton, Vermont has the Samba parade that closes the session of the Governor's Institute for the Arts, one of a group of programs at various colleges for teenagers. Not the best ever this year, but still fun.</p>

<p>Not surprisingly, this year's theme included rainbows.</p><div></div>

<p>Lots of costumes.</p><div></div>

<p>Only one stilt walker this year, but he was very agile!</p><div></div>

<p>Saw this parked on the side of the road....and thought that kids would take this to school....probably more so than their parents agreeing to it.</p>

<p>While waiting for the 4th of July fireworks a storm front moved through NYC hours earlier than expected. I along with about a million people were soaked, the rain continued to drizzle throughout the performance. Today I've ordered a rain cover for my camera and a Poncho for myself that will remain in my camera bag.</p><div></div>
