Not my shot, but boy would I love to be there. Due to circumstances outside of my control, my planned photo/video trip has been postponed. But I decided to use the time I took off from my day job anyway. Lord willing, it will afford me time to put into this website, but it also gave me a few days of much-needed rest.

Happy 250th birthday to the United States. It's amazing to think that, on one hand, this nation has survived for so long, yet in the grand scheme of things, it is still so young.

In short, if you're going to celebrate the 4th of July, and America's 250th (as I personally believe Americans ought to do, just my opinion), do so unto the Lord.
