Six of us gathered for the neighborhood celebration of the Fourth of July. It was hot enough that we voted to eat inside instead of on the porch. The others kindly posed for a photo at the table, but I knew something was not right and couldn’t see to fix it. I thought I took two shots and discovered later that I’d shot two miserable little videos. Please give me credit for not prolonging the agony for the best neighbors in the world. Later I took one black frame and added light to it several times. I will laugh whenever I see this, because it was the first time I used the new replacement camera. It’s obvious I need to practice.
It was delightful, as always, to be with this group of special people. We found lots to talk about, and conversation never lagged. The food we contributed was delicious.
To somehow make the occasion official, I took a selfie after everyone left. It took several tries to get the lighting somewhat acceptable.
Happy July Fourth to those who celebrate it!
