Philadelphia Fireworks at Penns Landing

This is a few days behind, but each year during the 4th of July holiday, while taking time to remember what this country was built on, I love watching fireworks! This year, I made it down to the Penns Landing show.  I parked in the Dave and Busters parking garage and had a spectacular view of the Ben Franklin bridge.  The fireworks were being launched from just next to the Camden Aquarium, so I knew my best chance would only come if the fireworks were launched high enough.  Fortunately, a few were!

Here's just a few of the shots I took.

Baby Will

Just over a month ago, my little sister - ok she's only 3 years younger, but will always be my little sister, Leeah and her husband welcomed their first baby into the family!!!  There's a lot of ways to celebrate the 4th of July, but what better way than a little baby!   Everyone in the family is super excited and happy for the new parents, Leeah and Will - especially this uncle/godfather that lives next door! Just over a week after Will, V - (Yes... That's the 5th), was born, I took some pictures.  Having a few ideas in mind, Baby Will came over - but he was a bit fussy that day - maybe it was being inside on the nice day.  So we walked outside.  That's when the sun started shining and I started taking just some casual pictures of Leeah holding him.

Here's a few from then... expect PLENTY more as he grows - that's what any uncle/godfather/photographer does....right? ;)
