And the days go by

I'm still in transition, from my library job to something new, from a set schedule to something flexible, from having an idea of where I'm heading to pondering future plans. I've been playing with beads, as I sometimes do when I'm trying to process through ideas and thoughts in my head.

two pairs of earrings

earring hanger/display (the Buddha doesn't seem to mind)

Happy Independence Day!

The best way to watch fireworks is to sit in a backyard with people you know, while beautiful fireworks go off on a mountainside directly in front of you. (this was one I accidentally took with flash). The M is for the local college, and is lit up at night.

The display is pretty spectacular, considering the size of the town.

They do multiple ones, too, instead of trying to stretch them out one by one.

They had some cool shapes - circles, stars, hearts...

Ooohh, ahhh, pretty!
