Everything Is Different When You're A Child

So as we all know, yesterday was the 4th of July. To be honest, it was always one of my favorite days to celebrate... as a child. But now that i'm older the day just doesn't excite me as much as it used to. I would be so happy knowing that I would be surrounded by friends and family and friendly neighbors with the enjoyment of yummy foods and fireworks and lots and lots of music, but everyone knows that in life things happen and things change. I guess being an adult it's only fun if you party and drink til you pass out which is not what I do. I didn't do much yesterday. After spending a few hours at home, I went to visit some family for a bit and then went with some friends to watch the firework show in town. But before the fireworks, we took an adventure in the woods (during the day this time). This forest is pretty sketchy whether it is at night or even during the day.

As always when it comes to my tripod, I either forget the tripod itself or the clip that attaches to my camera... Last night i forgot the attachment so I had to sit very still when capturing the fireworks. As for the woods, looks pretty sketchy, right? Just imagine being alone with one friend and seeing a random man wandering around by himself and then while walking deeper into the woods noticing that he is very still hiding behind a tree... yeah, that is how my first experience went the other day when I didn't have my camera. The guy ended up coming out 10 minutes after us. Other than sketchy experiences, i'm hoping to have a shoot here. Maybe with smoke bombs?
