Freedom Rings (by Jill Lemming)
Starry skies, and moonlit nights,
such beauty in our land...
such beauty in our land...
we're so thankful for these blessings,
that come from God's own hand.
The right to vote, to have a choice,
In a nation proud and strong-
and on this Independence day,
we sing our Freedom Song.
We salute our flag so proudly,
and thank God for the chance to say...
"there's no country we love better,
than the good ol' USA!"
Today we'll gather together,
with our family and our friends...
giving thanks to our Heavenly Father
for the blessings that He sends.
Thank you, Lord, for America,
a place where we can pray...
we give You all the glory,
on this Independence day.
Linking with Live and Love Outloud and Project Alicia for their Crazy Days of Summer Summer Photo Challenge. Be sure to check out the other Patriotic posts! that come from God's own hand.

(I think I should add that we were at a friend's house on a very small lake. The barge the lake house owners paid to have a show had technical difficulties not very far in, but the neighbors and home owners apparently went all out on their own spending, too. There were some lovely, lovely fireworks.)

those are AMAZING!! I took mine with my Canon Rebel's kit lens, no tripod and I took pics of my BIL shooting off fireworks he bought. So your pics totally kicked mine's butt!!
Seriously, you attended a beautiful show. I bet it was amazing in person!
Those are fantastic shots! I'm so glad you posted them. I almost didn't shoot fireworks this year, but I did...and glad I did. Looks like it was a good show!
You took these without a tripod?!? They're awesome and they're also difficult to pull off when you're not using a tripod. I love the second-to-the-last shot and the pic of the flags. Great job! (You were nervous for nothing. lol)
I'm so glad that you've continued to join Alicia and I for the Crazy Days of Summer Photo Challenge each week! Your firework pics were great, but I'm a little afraid to see what you come up with next week when we move on to our new theme, critters. Eek! lol Have a great day! :)
Wow,amazing shots of fireworks. I tried and failed. Will learn. I absolutely love the flags photo. Great edit!
Your fireworks are amazing! LOVE the 4th shot.
fireworks shots are not easy to accomplish...I can't imagine doing it without a tripod. I think you did a great work. Fireworks are so colorful!
AMAMZING captures! I love the colors!!! Great job keeping steady without a tri-pod too. I think it’s great that although the fireworks barge had some issues, the neighbors pitched in and created an amazing show for you instead.
What awesome photos. You did a great job!
Your fireworks turned out incredible - I need to try the bulb feature. I've never known what to do with it.
I LOVE them! I think they are great!!! I didn't take any photos mainly because I am not a fan of fireworks and there are so many trees around my house I couldn't see any clear areas to take them.
Your pics made me feel like I was there. I loved one of them so much I pinned it to my Pinterest board :)
Those were outstanding shots!!! Love the flag treatment!
These are fantastic! Oh my! What does bulb mode on the camera look like/ how would I know if I have it? I get what you mean about being nervous about posting your pictures though and comparing your shots to everyone else's. I just try to compare my pictures to my past pictures and hope for improvement.
WOW! These are just stunning photographs! How lucky you are to have been in the right spot at the right time. :)
Have a great weekend.
thanks so much for your sweet comment!
your pictures are awesome!!!
i only wish i could attempt to score one at least half as good as these :)
Those fireworks are FANTASTIC- Oh how I love each one!
Those are spectacular photos! However, I think the first one was my favorite because it looks almost like a flower with a stem...
These are incredible! You did a fabulous job! Love the flag photo!
WOW! These are amazing photos! Excellent job! Thanks for sharing! :)
Great series of shots. Very nice fireworks.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your sweet comments about my Top 5. I've enjoyed looking through your photos as well. You have a wonderful eye and I like how you explain some of your thought processes and editing techniques. There is so much we can all learn from each other, so thank you for sharing. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
