First Annual Fourth of July Fireworks Photo Contest

Ok, I admit, a July fourth post in mid August doesn't have quite the same pizazz as one a little more timely, but I just can't let these pictures disappear into my computer hard drive oblivion and unless I follow through with the summer photo album in reverse plan, that's exactly what will happen...

So here we have the very first ever in the history of our family, 
Annual Fourth of July Fireworks Photo Contest. 

At the end of this post, you will find a collage of nine fireworks snaps, each photographer picked their top three personal favs to enter into the contest.  Chris and Benjamin were the judges.  Let's see if you pick the same one they did :)


We went to shelter cove on Hilton Head Island for dinner and to watch the fireworks.. 

And even waiting for the fireworks was fun :)

You don't have to, of course.  But it'd be more fun if you did :)

    I really like a few of them but I love number 5! The horizon is beautiful, the fullness of the firework, how vibrant blue it is, the sky and the reflection!

    Great job to all of you though!

    #9. I like the reflection in the water. But none of them compare to Benson's cute pictures.

    I really feel like the odd ball since all above seem to agree, but I really like 4. The firework is very clear. All are great though! :)
