No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

Some of the pyrotechnic displays......

Ellen called this one, and the others like it, "Tinkerbell"

Somehow the grand colors just don't transfer to the photos, guess they happen in the moment....
To this I say, Monkey-Moo!!!!!

Last night, as we gathered in Ellen's fourth floor north-facing river room, watching the pre-fireworks TV shows from around the nation, I shared with those gathered the story of when Justin was a little boy and saw a fireworks display in the summer months. He made the comment, "Wow, they have fireworks when it isn't even Christmas!" Annually we would made the trek downtown to The Landing to watch the lighting of the Christmas tree and the fireworks display which followed, and it must have just occurred to him that this was NOT Christmas!
