This year it also meant croquet.
It also meant reluctant photography by me. Why reluctant? Well, I'm waiting for my new camera to arrive (should be today) and I'm nervous. I'm feeling a little scared/undeserving/shutter-blocked. I've known the new camera is coming and I was just a little standoffish with my current camera for fear that I'm no good. Just being honest about how I'm feeling. Keepin' it real.
So, I didn't take many images of the people I love. But did find some time to capture Nana and Papa's gardens. Beautiful, beautiful gardens.
We usually stay at the beach until nightfall for the fireworks but this year we changed it up. A family friend (Hi Betsy!) has a store with a balcony overlooking River Street. It gave us the perfect view of the Savannah fireworks display.
Finally, this holiday also meant that the girls learned how to ride bicycles. We don't have a flat, open and safe area for them to ride at home so they just hadn't learned yet. Now they have and we could hardly keep them off the bikes. I have video of it but no still images . . . it's back to that whole new camera/photography block thing.

Looks like a great time! Every picture you have posted here has been gorgeous - hopefully you get past your block soon :)
As to the photography, go ahead and experiment. You know we'll be gentle with you. We'll be encouraging you every step of the way!
Savanna looks like such a neat place to spend Independence Day. I am pretty far from the ocean. I've only been to one a few times in my life.
Congrats to the girls for their milestone accomplishment! :-)
