It’s amazing how good these phone cameras get. Even on something as challenging as #fireworks. I didn’t do much special. Just tried to snap at the right time.
Happy #july4th #4thofjuly

Now, I ask you: What describes the spirit of America on the Fourth of July better than a neighbor setting off fireworks in his backyard, an illegal activity here in our southern Maine town, without any regard for the people around him? #America #FourthOfJuly #Fireworks #Maine #US
Huge boom outside just now *sigh*
It's too damn early (not yet 5 PM here) for fireworks! But I guess it's time to get my earplugs ready because I'm sure there will be more soon.

So, I grew up with Special Forces men who served in Vietnam, as well as having three family members on that stupid wall. Two of my best friends served in Middle East deployments. I’m a sharpshooter, and spent a lot of time on the range with people who used to be snipers. I preface with this because I am not unfamiliar with the sounds or the aftermath of war.
STOP LAUNCHING FIREWORKS IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS! Just fucking stop. Every animal within a mile of you will be traumatized. Spot fires break out in the crop fields. Service personnel will suffer for days or weeks afterward. Just fucking stop. Please.
independence day
celebrates vanquishing kings.
why the fireworks now?
My garden is prettier than #fireworks.
Someone had a rough night. Hoping it's just stress or lack of sleep from hearing fireworks all night. He did eat and go to the bathroom, no pain on physical exam exam, but not himself. (Update: he recovered after a short walk, but tonight is going to be loud too.) #pets #fireworks

#Fireworks appeared in Japan sometime around 1600 and were called hanabi — a combination of the kanji “fire” and “flower”.
Ah, that would explain the media copters that were heading back from that location yesterday. #simi #fireworks

"Picturing Pyrotechnics" — @simon_werrett on how artists have responded to the challenge of depicting #fireworks, from the highly politicised renderings of the early modern period to Whistler’s impressionistic Nocturne in Black and Gold: https://publicdomainreview.org/essay/picturing-pyrotechnics #FourthOfJuly
@amanda says to boycott #fireworks. They scare animals like her, can remind people with PTSD of traumas, and it harms the environment.
Over 600 wildfires have already ignited this year, prompting Public Lands Commissioner Dave Upthegrove to urge, “Don’t be an idiot, don’t set our state on fire.” Fireworks caused 271 fires and 156 injuries in the state last year #wildfire #environment #environmentaljustice #fireworks
