Sarasota Speaks

Yes, it's a day early, but I like to think of it as practice for tomorrow night. They always shoot off fireworks in front of the Beachhouse restaurant on Anna Maria Island on the day before the Fourth of July. I guess they figure that way they won't be competing with every municipality and sporting event up and down the Eastern Seaboard. And they're right. The beach was packed with people who came out just for their show. However, we were promised a 45 minute show, which would be really long, but it was over in about 15 minutes. I would have cried foul, but there really was no point. I get to try again tomorrow at a different spot. In the meantime, you can enjoy these shots from my new camera. I think they're pretty good.
