Simple pleasure…the show before the fireworks

This was the view the Hubs and I had fourth of July evening as we waited for the fireworks to begin.

These are taken from Mt. Tabor park looking west toward downtown Portland.

All shots are straight from the camera, unedited.

When it finally became dark we could see not only the fireworks display from downtown,

but fireworks from several neighboring communities.

However, the pre-fireworks show that God put on was the highlight of the evening.

 

Still following,

  7. Sometimes, it's easy to forget that you can get above the city in Portland....and see sights like this. Beautiful....Mt. Tabor is just such a place.

  10. Elizabeth,
    God so outdoes anything man could create and it is ours to enjoy every night not just on a special occasion. Love your Simple, Summer Pleasure.
