Ribs and Sparklers

Every fourth, one of my neighbors has a huge party in his backyard. Activities include volleyball, cornhole,  gorging oneself with food, drinking plenty of beer - mostly eating and drinking.  He always has some kind of fireworks, but this year, he made a special trip to get the best possible.  I've never shot fireworks before, and here are some of my favorite shots from that night.

My sister, Keely, and best friend, Nick, lighting sparklers together.

Part of the finale!
