A little before the 4th of July, I purchased a box of sparklers. I had some thought of what I wanted to do with them, but seeing how I’m never at home and few people visit me at night, I had not much of an opportunity to do what I wanted to do with them.

Then a few nights back Sara came over and I got to light up the sparklers and do a little playing. Although I have to confess, lighting these cheap sparklers took quite a bit more effort than I would have expected.

Here are the results of what happened after these buggers finally lit.

Although I love my backyard, I really hate the street light that constantly bathes it in light. It really makes night photography a drag.
