My niece Beth enjoyed playing with the sparklers at our family 4th of July celebration last year. Photos of this year’s family celebration to come. I hope all of you who celebrated yesterday had a safe, fun-filled holiday!

Photo of the Day: Ready For Fireworks
To my American friends – happy 4th of July! I took this photo two years ago as the sun was setting before a 4th of July fireworks display.
Photo of the Day: At Work
I’m very much ready for a four-day weekend! This is the view outside my office window today. I’m sure these window washers are ready for the holiday, too.
Photo of the Day: Before and After
These photos may not win any photography awards, but I wanted to show you the before and after pictures of our backyard. When we moved into our house in March, our backyard was a mud pit. The previous homeowners had a large dog, and everyone told us we wouldn’t get grass to grow under the shady spots. After a few hard-working days breaking up the ground, laying seed, watching it wash away in a storm, re-breaking up the ground and laying seed, laying straw, and watering, we’re pretty happy with the end result. Next we need to tackle a few bare spots and the random crab grass and weeds. Any suggestions?
Photo of the Day: Hoot Hoot
I’m excited to say that I took this photo in my backyard yesterday. I live in a suburb of Kansas City, so seeing an owl in my yard isn’t exactly a common occurrence. I heard a ton of birds making all kinds of squawking noises yesterday evening, so I looked outside to see what was going on, and this large owl was starring right at me. I grabbed my camera and took a couple of quick distance shots, then walked closer only to get few blurry shots before she flew off. Coolest nature experience so far since we moved in March! Does it look like she’s is blinking in this photo?
