FIREWORKS :: MAINE PHOTOGRAPHER

It's that time of year again, and once again I'm out photographing fireworks. I was lucky this year to be able to photograph a few shows. Here's a couple of shots:

DAHLIA WITH VISITOR :: MAINE FLOWER PHOTOGRAPHS

This is a dwarf dahlia, one of the easiest flowers to grow. Which is good, because my philosophy is once they're planted, they're on their own!

No one suddenly appeared to chase me away, so I will continue to cross the field - carefully - until I'm told otherwise.....
