Hurricane Irene

The rain was falling and the road was washing away. Alls well now. Power is back on but the roads are still in bad shape.

Look what I caught!

Rainbow

I didn't find the pot o'gold.

Fireworks 2011

The first three shots are of the Macy's fourth of July celebration fireworks in NYC. Mind you I was on a mountaintop 50 miles away! (tripod and telephoto)
The other photos are from closer displays. Enjoy.
