impatient children
scamper about the hillside
parents sip their drinks
as the light drains from the sky
and the canvas is prepared

We were there too – right by Parliament House on the hill. We couldn’t see the lake but we got a good view of the fireworks and it was such a beautiful evening to be out.
It was a lovely evening. Did you notice the delay between when the first set of fireworks starting and the second set? 😀 I wonder if someone at the second barge misplaced the matches.
Haha. Yes. I said to my husband that I could just Imagine the radio contact: “we’te not ready”. “Well we are. Watch this!”

water frozen just the same
