Fireworks over Owasco

With a telephoto and tripod, I tried taking some pictures of the fireworks display produced in Emerson Park on Owasco Lake.  Many other displays took place following the "official" display.  Here are a few of the shots.

Poppies to Pops!

Tonight are the fireworks on Owasco Lake, which are always very colorful and entertaining.  This year, I will try some pictures, using the sports setting on the Canon Rebel.

While en route, I stopped at the Cornell Plantations and took a few shots of the lovely Poppy. Since the flower that was in bloom was not near the path, I had to reach over the wooden fence to capture a few shots.  Perhaps another will be in bloom tomorrow that is closer to the path.

Mr. Toad greeted me as I got out of the car and was very patient for a few shots.

Some sporty folks were riding a jet ski on the lake.  Looked like great fun.

Then there are some Day Lilies in bloom, with heads erect and proud to be celebrating the 4th of July!

Enjoy the pix.

Father's Day Vintage Car Show

There were hundred os vintage cars along the shore of Emerson Park, Auburn,  today to celebrate Father's Day and the car show.  I am not typically a car enthusiast, but had to marvel at the condition of the cars and some memories that streamed back from those good old days.  Remember the tray on the side of the car at the drive in?  The dice in the window? Each car was incredibly clean, so could not possibly be driven very often.

Anyway, a nice sunny day on Owasco Lake with lots of memories bubbling to the surface. Here are some of the images I took today.
