Patriotic CupCakes

This year for 4th of July Hostess brought out Patriotic CupCakes. They are basically Star Spangled CupCakes which they have brought out before.

They may have been available last year, as I don’t always see the limited edition CupCakes since I don’t usually shop at a store that carries them.

The box itself is very colorful and the fireworks and stars add a nice touch.

It is interesting that they have both sprinkles and the original squiggle. This is a rare combination.

Fireworks 2021

I thought that the local fireworks show had been cancelled, but I found out today that it was still on.

I usually prepare for the fireworks and make sure that I have my tripod with me to get some good pictures.

When I got to the park, I remembered. However, I decided to see if I could get some good pictures. I am posting some of the more interesting ones tonight.

When I got home I was plugging me camera into my computer when the power went off.

My computer decided to do a major update when it came back on and took 45 minutes to come back on-line. Then my picture management software I use with my camera decide to corrupt the settings and require a reconfiguration, which is still running.

So here are the pictures.
