Actually it was kind of a strange day. Very warm and very humid. Kind of cloudy much of the time. Though it cleared off later, seemed like weather would be good for the night's big fireworks show.
Got my gear and went to the park. As I was getting closer, I could see big dark clouds coming. Lightning and thunder too. And I didn't bring a raincoat!
Biggest surprise was how deserted the park was. It's usually a big crowd of people waiting for the show. But with threatening weather and sprinkles I guess people went home early. Then it started really raining and thundering, lots of lightning. I got to a safer place to hide out. Was seriously thinking of calling it and going home. But waited it out.
Rain tapered off to light sprinkles 20 minutes later. I could hear cheering in the auditorium where they put on a music show. So I figured stick around, might get a show after all.
And we finally did!
Pretty colorful one here. I think this is one of my favorites from the night.
I think this one looks like a big green dandelion.
So the show ended. And I, along with the maybe 15 other people in the park headed out. It was very humid, still wet from the rain, and a bunch of lingering drifting smoke from the fireworks.
