Cherry Pie: A Tradition

 

I had every intention of photographing the entire day. I got off to a great start—snapping a photo of our traditional Cherry pie in process. However, I never managed a photo of the finished product. You’ll have to take my word for it–the finished pie, with its star crust was lovely.

I didn’t mean to put down my camera, really. But, somehow the day got away from me. Neighbors dropped by and we ended up with an impromptu party. They stayed for the city fireworks display—our porch has the best view in town, I’m convinced! And then their girls and Boy Wonder put on their own display, laughing and giggling with sparklers and the BIG box of fire works. . .  and dare I say, gently flirting in that off-beat way only pre-teens can pull off.  

So, there are just a few moments to capture our day. Just a few snap-shots of the gentle way we’ve taken to celebrating. Good food, a slow pace, lots of love. And the weather. Well, the weather loved us  back, just as gently.  Sunshine and more sunshine, just about unheard of for the 4th of July in this wildreness.

There are days when life promises you more if you put the camera down. It’s all for the better, really. Sometimes, you have to just live the experience.

    Was really fun. A fantastic 4th to be sure. I’m glad you enjoyed it rather than just sitting behind a camera. The pie, by the way, was yummy. I don’t need a pie a week… but I’m looking forward to the next one. 😀

    I’m glad you lived the experience; I tried to do as much of that as I could. I tend to be too focused on photos when I have the Big Boy(D-80) so I left him home and took my fit-in-the-purse old digital. I got some photos, but none of me and not as many as I could have taken. Oh, well. The weather was really something, eh? Now rain! Poor Ashley coming home from Africa tomorrow–she’s going to freeze. P.S. I don’t like cherry pie, but that looks luscious!

    You’ll get used to using the other camera–in time it won’t feel so large and cumbersome. We had a lovely day and the weather was absolutely stunning. ~W
