Saturday evening and into the wee hours of Sunday, the neighborhood, and by the sounds I heard in the far off distance, the entire metropolis was not gonna do without the celebrations of our Independence! Even tho the city and county canceled and closed just about everything, Bud and I figured that a lot of neighborhoods musta used some of their stimulus checks on fireworks! Hours and hours of fireworks and flashing lights...booming and thundering in the darkened night sky. Around our house, the noise started around 7:30 P M and continued up until around 12:30 A M on Sunday morning...or, at least that's when I finally fell asleep around that hour. After reading my book a while, I shut off the light about 9:30 and tried falling asleep. Just as I began to doze off, BOOM!!! I gave up, and went out in our front yard armed with my cellphone to try and capture some of the goings-on, a lookie -loo I became. Many oooooos, and ahhhhhs I said to myself. My timing wasn't much good for getting the large, spectacular ones...the delay in the shutter release was slowing everything down and they too quickly dispersed into small fragments of the lights! I also had to contend with shooting into the full moon's light. Oh, and off to the south of us, in the black abyss, there was a UFO. Two red lights hovering in a stationary stance! Hmmmmm, was it really a UFO or a drone? My guess it was a drone...'cause after a half hour or so, around 10 PM, the green lights on the same began flashing and it disappeared into the night sky behind the peak of our house. Drone, right? Maybe I should look on the internet for the local news and find something. Nope, too lazy. I'll stick by my assumption of drone.
Drone?
...and at one glance looking into our backyard neighborhood, above the peak of our roof, it looked like our home was on fire!
