July 4 2020

A most unusual "celebration" in the USA. Of course all the big usual festivities were called off -- setting out the lawn chairs on June 1 in preparation for the annual parade http://365project.org/jyokota/365/2013-07-04 , the city fireworks, etc. So I had planned to watch the Buck Moon and the penumbral lunar eclipse, and I set up my tripod in the front yard. But I could hear the sound of fireworks all around me so I walked down to the park and watched teens setting of fireworks in the middle of the outdoor basketball court (you can see it in the middle red photo. And because these smaller fireworks don't go very high, I could only get a small portion of the one that went overhead.
I was so glad there were small celebrations everywhere. I’m glad you found some. And oh that moon shot, oh my.

Nice to get something though. I am glad some people decided to celebrate anyway. It would have been a poignantly quiet night otherwise.

Nice to be able to see any fireworks this year since most all large shows were cancelled. Nice collage.

This is a cool collage to convey both the day's traditions, but also how strange they were this year.

If I did not have a dog I could have added to this collage, but poor Finn spent most of his time trying to crawl under our bed, which is only a few inches deep!
