ooh, aah

The fireworks down the street at Stanley Park this evening were really awesome! I had gone down early to walk around in the woods, where I found some neon orange fungi and a frog in a puddle (pix later - too late tonight to process & upload them). Then I wandered around the rose garden, where I found a pretty green Vespa (and my next door neighbor, who inexplicably asked if it was my boyfriend's. Huh?) parked behind a row of motorcycles. As the sun went down, I wandered over to the field and ran across some friends I hadn't seen in a while, and sat with them since the former coworker I was to meet wasn't answering her phone. We watched the slim crescent moon go down, and chatted while we waited for the main event. All I can say is, Wow! They were among the best fireworks I've ever seen. They went on for a long time, and were really big & loud. It was cool to hear the echoes off the hills. The crowd loved them, cheering at the display. My friend surmised that perhaps they had a surplus, being past the regular fireworks season. It was a lovely night, and I'm glad I went. :)
