On July 4, my country (the United States) turned 250 and my spouse and I decided to have a quiet day.
We didn't go to any live fireworks shows. We sat back, watched TV, had a simple dinner, and watched the sky.
Except for the last photo, these were all taken during a walk at a local park.
I went out again about 9:10 pm.
A bit surprisingly, we didn't have as many unofficial (as I call them) neighborhood fireworks shows., but the vanishing light after the sun sent down created layers of beauty.
It was a nice Saturday In the Park.
Joining Yogi and other sky watchers for #SkywatchFriday.
Wonderful scenes with Clouds, the sky and the landscape.

Beautiful clouds.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, dynamic skies. I’ll probably have that song in my head all day!
ReplyDeleteNice touch adding the song! The skies are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove all the clouds. We didn't have to go anywhere for fireworks. They were being set off all over my neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteAh, Chicago! Thanks for the memories.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you had a peaceful day.
ReplyDeletethecontemplativecat here. Loved the clouds, and wished we could have them here. esp the thunderclouds.
ReplyDeleteRain came for our 4th of July so NO fireworks. We had Italian Sausage, corn on the cob and chocolate eclairs. Enjoyed Chicago singing "Singing in the Park." while looking at your clouds posted.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with a quiet fourth. We were in the mountains of Colorado and with the arid conditions all fireworks were banned.
ReplyDeleteWatching the sky turn those gorgeous, layered colors after the sun goes down is such a lovely way to spend a quiet holiday. Sometimes a peaceful evening at home with a simple dinner is better than any big event, especially when you get to enjoy such a beautiful view at the park. It sounds like a truly perfect way to mark the occasion.
