I know that large crowd issues are enough to tamp down many of us from doing the annual fireworks photos just now ... but hopefully this Nikon Wednesday will bring us a few. For our part, we spent an hour in the Pentagon parking lot watching the military flyover at dusk. Lots of different vintage aircraft between us and the setting sun, culminating with the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels flying in tandem across the Potomac and over the crowd before the fireworks started. It was fun hanging out with a bunch of active duty military aviation buffs and their families seeing far more than the three shots I post here. Anyone else? Let's see some photos!

As usual, mostly hanging around the house and going to the nearby lake for some swimming.

 

And as usual, mostly hunting dragonflies. Here's one picturesquely perching on the stairs down to the water.

After watching a Steve Perry video, I decided to try a monopod gimbal (not to buy one, of course, but to make one), and found it worked pretty well. Here's a dragonfly shot at 500 mm.

And here's just a little pot of flowers in Brandon.
