4th of July Photos

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted on Hive. It's always my "insanity" season with my photography business this time of year. And this year has been even more busy than usual. In fact, the only reason I have time to write this is that my favorite computer mouse is charging and I'm using my old clunky mouse that gets things done but I hate using it for editing photos.

Anyway, I thought I'd share a few photos from the 4th of July, our Independence Day here in the USA. I was hired by my local Chamber of Commerce to shoot the small town parade where in live, in Truckee, California. It had been a while since I had attended the parade, I forgot how fun it was!

I shot many many more photos, here's a slideshow of them if you're curious: https://scottshotsphoto.photoshelter.com/embed?type=slideshow&G_ID=G0000hxiWjJtiCbQ

After the parade, I spent most of the day working on some of the photos so the event organizers could share some of them on social media asap. I then walked across the street from where I live and enjoyed the fireworks show at Donner Lake. It was a "blast"! Here's my favorite shot from the show:

Thanks for looking! Once things start slowing down, I'm sure I'll be back to posting here. In the meantime, enjoy the blockchain and I wish I was here more!

It’s loud and clear that so many people had fun on that day
Your pictures said it all
Such a great day for Americans

Good to see a post 🙂 glad you are busy. Lazy hot and humid here. Hard to get out much until the weather breaks. Looks like a delightful parade. I gotta tell you me first reaction to the cops on horses was Village People lol how about those 70s mustaches?

Glad to see you back! These are some crystal clear shots and it looked like it was a lot of fun. Cheers

It’s great to see you back on Hive! It sounds like your photography business is thriving, which is fantastic. Using a clunky old mouse for editing must be frustrating, but it’s a good reminder of how much we appreciate our favorite tools. The 4th of July parade in Truckee looked like a blast, and your photos captured the fun and spirit of the event beautifully.🇺🇸💃

It actually definitely looks like everyone is quite busy with their daily activities

Yes it's been a while and it's good to have you post again. It's great that you are busy because that means money is rolling in... hehehehe.
The parade has many beautiful scenes and the fireworks over the lake is amazing!

So many people are really quite busy with their activities and it actually looks like a very busy schedule
