The Birth of a Nation

We celebrated the birth of the United States of America this weekend. The celebrations were much less this year. City festivals and fireworks displays were almost non-existent in my area. Individuals set out to do it right, with no help from the government I might add.
I shot a wedding on the evening of the 4th then buzzed across town to enjoy a few fireworks. Here is a small glimpse of what I saw.
I love this nation! I love the founders dream for this nation! The beauty of the Declaration of Independence and the resulting triumph of our constitution. Yeah, we had some flaws. We had to right how blacks and women were treated by the law. The key thing is we could and we did.
