Sometimes when it is 102 in the shade, you just need to hang out on a branch and chil!

The little town of Sachse we moved to has their fireworks (Red, White and Blue Blast) on the third as to not compete with the larger displays on the fourth. The park is less than a quarter mile from our house. I started off in our driveway, but quickly walked 4 houses down the hill by the pool to get a better angle on the fireworks. Started out with my 70-200mm and quickly switched to my 24-70mm. Almost all these shots were at 24mm.
Hope you enjoy them!
All in all a nice little display and a pool party cookout will be planned around this next year.
As messed up as this great country of ours is right now, there is still no place I would rather be. God Bless the United States of America and THANKS to all who have served or are serving so we can enjoy the freedom we still have today!

We have been going 5 miles up the road to Wylie at least once a week to eat at the Ballard Street Cafe. Today Wylie had it’s Bluegrass on Ballard festival. Food, Crafts, Car Show. Weather was perfect, felt nice to walk around some!
One of the guys I work with now has this beauty of a 1968 Camaro in the car show. Sharon has always wanted a 68. Maybe someday but for now the Harley will have to do.
We didn’t take the bike because I thought I was going to buy a set of Longhorns for the house. I had him down to $135 but he wouldn’t go for $100 cash. I was wheeling and dealing on the fifth set from the bottom. They were over 60 inches.
This is the cute little barber I have been getting my haircut at. First time, I started to tell him how my beautician had been cutting it. He pretty much told me he had been cutting hair for 43 years and he would figure it out. I’ll be going back!
This ended up being Sharon’s favorite car. a 1939 Chevy truck named “Peaches”. Loved the paint on this one and Sharon said she could she herself driving one like this someday! Peaches is owned and driven by a female. I dont think I could pull off driving this paint color.
Perfect weather, good food, Great music, got some local Honey, but didn’t get the horns. Felt good to be out walking around with a camera again! Who knows what will get in front of my lens next?

Getting stuff done. Only took 9 gallons to do the two side fences and the 8 foot back fence. Was surprised I could get it done in three hours. That is three gallons per hours.
The color matched up pretty well. The street facing comes pre-stained. It is a 15 year stain, but I am guessing 3 or 4 years it will need done again, but won’t take near as much stain.
I have always said I just photograph whatever life throws at me, lately that has been the new house. I have my eye on two fields of wildflowers, so maybe I can get back to photographing nature and wildlife now that the house is coming together.

Miss Sharon and I closed on our new home in Sachse Texas today! It is official we are Texans. The tradition continued as I carried her across the threshold into our third home.
Our house was finished yesterday and once they got the sod in we were granted a certificate of occupancy!
Sharon’s new rug waiting on the new dining room table! The real fun starts tomorrow as the truck is scheduled to show up at 8:00 AM. It will be a long day, but sleeping in my own bed will feel good!
