Independence Day Fireworks in Montgomery Township, New Jersey.

To save on costs the township does the fireworks before or after the 4th. This year weather permitting it will be on the 30th. I hope to find a good place to set up my camera.

Early Summer Nature in New Jersey.

Two views of a local farmer’s wheat field in the morning. The sun was just coming out from behind some low clouds and there was still a bit of mist.
