Picking Up Where I Left Off...

First of all, I realize it has been a long time since I blogged here. I had even forgotten my login creds for this site and needed to have a little reminder sent (thank goodness for the "forgot your password?" link!!). In any case, even though I've missed all of 2008 thus far, I figure I'll share some recent pictures from the Fourth of July. This year I sat atop the sledding hill at Chestnut Ridge Park. The view from up there is incredible as it looks out over Lake Erie; Buffalo; and Niagara Falls, Canada. I saw many fireworks, all off in the distance, of course. Personally, I'd rather see one good fireworks show up close than watch many from afar. Something's missing without the signature in-your-face explosions (and ash raining down on you!!).

Anyway, while the masses of distant fireworks were somewhat entertaining, the best light show was the vibrant sunset over Lake Erie. Enjoy:

Buffalo; Ralph Wilson Stadium; and Niagara Falls, Canada (to the left)

And the fireworks begin...
