july 4th 2008

well, like i mentioned here ( more pics here too), i found this sitting in a folder that i have forgotten about. it was taken this year and well, it showed my first ever attempt at trying to capture fireworks. i looked up on how to capture them and i found out that i needed a tripod which i didn't bring. sean has his old one that we can use, but i never thought about it really.


sarah enjoying freezer pops while sunning herself


sarina happily blowing stuff up..itu baju pinjam christian punyer same goes for the trunks..they went swimming before lighting fireworks



my friend nyer day lily..so the beautiful one..

caprese salad :)

carmelised onion tarts with gorgonzola and tuna mushroon puffs

anyway, found out that sarah has no interest in firworks, but sarina was so into it. she was lighting this and that and same goes for sean. once a year, july 4th transformed my eldest daughter and my husband into pyromaniacs. they will blow stuff up with the firecrackers. like this year, they blew up paint cans, buckets and i have to give it to them this year...combining with everyone that's there, they managed to get the steel drum catch fire. they started dumping a few fire crackers to get the most out of the boom right..then they started to put in other stuff too..bigger fireworks and roman candles and of course..some other ermmm..stuff that they're not supposed to have lah..all in all i guess it was fun..but next day wasn't fun because we have to pick up all the debris or trash from the previous night. it took us 2 hours just to pick up the big ones..anyway, enjoy the pics :)

when i took this picture and after reviewing it, it sort of brought about a certain sense of nostalgia. reminds me of kampung kids main bunga api during hari raya..nengok tu..sarina tak padan sehhh


sarina with a roman candle

me feeble attempts at capturing this..

Thanks for sharing the pix!! :) Always enjoy looking at them. I like the 2nd pic - calming colors, good composition, nice bokeh.

I can't wait for the fireworks here!! :) But I hate the crowds... alahai... every time there's a big event, the crowds here boleh buat orang sesak nafas. Fortunately they run the fireworks for several weekends so we get a choice when to view it...

Oh oh, that pic, yea baru I nak cakap, the roads look like kampung dulu2 *hehehee*

Did you notice that cats and dogs are very afraid of fireworks? Not just them lah...most of my animals pun takut. The whole barn shakes.
