I know this is backwards, as I posted fireworks pictures, but that was me being a journalist, and "scooping" most publications. Here is a more reflective view of the day, though in no real order. I was literally in the small towns that casting directors demand for their movies that show what small town America is all about. A gazebo with a flag that jumped out of the picture. A parade that was watched by a patriotic Ms. Firecracker and which featured the popular float of port-a-potties. They were tossing out Tootsie Rolls, too--think about it. A sunset with a boat, and one with an endless sky. Yellow flowers against a background of corn flowers. A "Fiesta" of color at a small out of the way antique store. And a picture of the sky at dusk
It was a happy birthday for a country which in many ways showed a slice of itself.
