Holiday and such

July 1st

We have had a few fires here in Utah, one not too far from my apartment complex but rather small in comparison to the other battles that have been raging.

This was near Millville just south of me.  You can see the carport cover in the picture to the left.  The fire department had it under control in 24 hours and out about 48-72 hours later.

July 3rd

 

Logan didn't cancel it's fireworks show, but they had them on the 3rd instead of on the 4th.  The pyrotechnics have a busy schedule this time of year.  One of the Sister's I work with has a nephew who does the Logan show and several others.  I guess it takes about three or four 12 hour days to get everything ready.  They had done a show in Idaho on June 30th so they were hussling to set up Logan.  It was a spectacular show.

I experimented with my camera taking lots of  shots of the program.

 I put my camera on a tripod to keep things a little more steady.










  


  These are some of the better shots.  

This clip is the finale.

July 4th

For the Fourth, I visited Willow Park Zoo.  It is small zoo they have here in town.  It is so small that they have a post at the entrance that has a slot in it for you to drop a recommended donation in.  

 Remember Night at the Museum, well this is a Capuchin monkey.

 This is actually a baby emu.

 Loving his watermelon on a hot day!

Would you believe this is an albino porcupine.  He looked kind of cute sleeping with his head on his paw and his paw on the branch.
