10 AM: Started the day with Brunch at Budd Bay Cafe. Shutter Speed 1/20; F/3.5; ISO 200

5 PM: Arrived at Fort Lewis and just happen to see this interesting character. Shutter Speed 1/40; F/8 ISO 200

10 PM: Watched the great Fireworks at Fort Lewis. Totally inexperienced taking photos of fireworks, I did quite a bit setting and changing apertures and shutter speeds. I know better for next year. This particular shot: Shutter Speed .13 secs; F/13; ISO 400

Just wanted to have a picture of the reason we have an Independence Day. Taken in less than ideal light, I wanted to highlight the Color Guard with the blured background passing of the State Flags. Shutter Speed 1/13; F/6.3 ISO 400
