Outside Looking In

So on the last night of the Washington County Fair, I headed over after dark to get some shots of the rides. Little did I know that they stopped letting people in at 10pm, I arrived at 10:30pm. Slightly bummed and unable to find a hole big enough for me to slip through unnoticed, I just walked down the sidewalk and nabbed a few shots from there. I am happy with what I ended up with.

Colorful Explosions

Last month the family and I made the short trek down to Newberg to catch the fireworks show that they hold on the last saturday in July to close out the Old Days festival. We have been attending the show for the last four to five years with our church. This year was an interesting one becuase we had our dog Scotty with us. The reason why he was there is becuase we adopted another dog, whom we named Charlie, the same night.


This was Scotty's first fireworks show so he was quite freaked during the first few minutes of the show so I had to hold him down to prevent him from running off.

Once he settled down, I was able to free one had to take some shots of the fireworks. Suprisingly I was able to get quite a few shots while holding my camera in one hand and keeping Scotty at bay with the other.

Here are a few of the results.
