Fireworks but also Celebrating the 4th and stadium. Every year the Philadelphia Phillies have fireworks display after a couple games that are closest to the July 4th homestand. These are all handheld so I am fairly happy with them.

Fishing My son is an avid fisherman and he promised to take one of my grandsons fishing this year. Unfortunately my grandson became quite ill over the summer and couldn't go on this trip. His sisters filled in and caught their very first fish ever. My son didn't catch anything.

This was my youngest granddaughter


And her older sister.

Gangway, Old Glory and Row of Flags


Garden The past few summers there has been a park opened along the river front and I saw this garden made from old boats. I loved the idea

Geranium I took a tight shot going for an artistic look

And then I noticed the buds and focused on them

Giant and Yellow the world's biggest rubber duck. I used the new Nikon P900 and I really need to work on the long distance of the camera to clear up the haze I get and focal lengths greater than 300mm

[tazdev3225]

Thanks Princess. Tripods aren't allowed in the stadiums so I am always happy when I can get a decent shot of fireworks handheld.

Helicopter I got 3 in one outing, 2 TV stations and a Coast Guard this came out the best


History/Historical The very first baseball games I ever saw were at the old Connie Mack stadium in Philadelphia. The stadium was eventually torn down but this is one of the seats from the stadium
[url=https://flic.kr/p/t5254c]

This is also in the History category but also Old Glory. My brother was a US Marine and takes the disposal of the US flag very seriously. We had a picnic at church on Flag Day and decided to have a flag disposal ceremony. Historically the correct disposal of a torn and tattered flag is a flag burning ceremony. Some of the old Veterans in attendance were in tears that a "young person" cared. My brother is 50.

Hot, person with perspiration my grandson after pitching an inning in 95 degree weather


Hummingbird feeding could also be Body Art. The casino my daughter works for has a huge employee picnic every year with lots of activities. My granddaughter chose a hummingbird at the "tattoo" booth. Best I could do in this category as I don't think one hummingbird ever came to my feeder

Hydrant and Giant Wildwood NJ added a dog section to the beach and it is marked by the Giant Hydrant

Ice Cream Cone

And a little poetic license - eating at the ice cream counter. We go to a small dairy farm in Lancaster that has the best ice cream and while there is no counter in the store they have benches and tables outside to et the ice cream
