We spent a few days at our creek property last week, and celebrated Canada Day there. It was an incredible camping trip, and for a very specific reasons {but, more on that later}.
Of course, the highlight after the sun fully set, was the fireworks! Not long at all and it wasn’t an intense and dramatic show – but they were one of the best ever.
A family chose them, invited neighbours and we all huddled to share in the celebration. Then, cheers followed the bangs, breaking the compete silence of the country night.
This is it folks – these are the only photos I captured during this time. I was too busy smiling, taking in the moment and watching my kids eyes go wide.
Perfection.

Wow!! What knock out shots!! So glad you enjoyed time with your kids too
Thank you – it was great! 🙂
Looked like a brilliant display 🙂
Have a sparklingtastic week 😉
Thank you, have a great rest of the week!
Wonderful fire works. I’ll bet it was spectacular to be ther.
I’ve decided we need more firework celebrations through the year! 🙂
Stunning photos!
Thank you!
Fireworks are tough to capture, aren’t they? Thanks for the great photos!
In complete darkness when you can’t even see the settings buttons – yes! lol
Fireworks are so hard to photograph! I agree though, it’s such a wonderful thing to watch 🙂 Glad you all have a great time!
Thank you and yes, I am entranced by fireworks! Just beautiful!
That must have certainly been a blast.. great capture of the fireworks.

Good for you staying in the moment… and photographing fireworks can be tricky. These are fab! YAM xx
Fireworks always gives an air of celebration. Hard to capture them in photo but you did it well here =) #WW
Great fireworks photos!
Love the firework pics!! Missed them this year
I was surprised, our city didn’t have any. Last year it woke us up at midnight, so we just stayed up and waited – nothing.
Nothing like a firework or two. I love them but dog’s not so sure!
Great photos! I wish I could have taken better pictures when we did fireworks this weekend. I think I might have gotten one good picture. Glad you had a nice weekend.
You got some great shots! It’s not easy to get a picture of fireworks.
Hope you had a great Canada Day! Independence Day where I am was extremely rainy.
Great photos, sometimes it is hard to capture the moments when you want to be in and enjoy the moments.
Fab shots – the second one looks awesome!
Happy Wordless Wednesday! 🙂
Fireworks are always fun for the kids! We missed them Friday due to hurricane Arthur. We did fire off some of our own though! 😉
Seems like you had an awesome time.
Have a nice rest of the week!!
You captured some great pictures! We watched ours through our hotel room! LOL
Fireworks look great, but they have been driving me nuts lately, I’m excited for firework season to be over.
You did great, I didnt take any!! Yours are great!
The photos turned out great! I only got 2 firework pictures that I liked on my end.
Fireworks are my favorite thing in the world. This is dorky but they always bring tears to my eyes! So beautiful!
Doesn’t it feel good to just put the camera and phone sometime and just enjoy? I did the same this Fourth.
These are great shots of the fireworks! We were able to catch a fireworks display this past Saturday.
Great pictures. And by the way, it’s great that you couldn’t get more shots. That means you were enjoying the kids!
Those pictures are beautiful. I love fireworks. I love them even more when I’m enjoying them with the family. I’m glad you couldn’t get more shots!
Glad you spent more time with your kids than your camera WTG
You may not have taken a lot of photos, but the ones you did are fabulous. We recently celebrated the 4th of July here in the States, and of course there were a lot of fireworks. Our kids either loved them, or in the case of the younger ones, they are a bit afraid. In any case, fireworks are a fun way to end the celebration.
I had a lot of fun watching the fireworks. I only got a few shots too; but they were well worth it! I love watching fireworks
What awesome photos! Glad you had a great camping trip.
Those look really nice! That sounds soo relaxing. Things were really chill around there this Fourth too.
I had a hard time too capturing great photo’s. I think the fact I was just snapping and enjoying might of had something to do with it 🙂 I’m so glad you had a great holiday. 🙂 Definitely thinking of doing a wordless Wednesday so I can join your link party haha 🙂
Oh what wonderful photos. We had a great 4th and it is crazy but I didn’t get a single photo… Thanks for sharing yours!
You did a great job. I have to figure out how to capture fireworks still.
I didn’t realize Canada Day was so close to Independence Day here in America! How fun! Cool pictures!
I added your button to my post! 🙂
Fireworks bring the joy our of everyone!
You did a way better job of capturing fireworks than I have… ever! LOL! It’s so hard to watch and take photos at the same time hahaha. Nice try though 🙂
Best firework pictures I have seen this season. I used to love neighborhood fireworks! What great memories!
Those are the best kind of nights, watching your kids in awe is so wonderful.
I’m glad you were able to get some great shots and enjoy quality family time!!
Beautiful memories you have captured!!
You enjoyed them in the moment and that’s as it should be. Fireworks are always best when viewed away from the camera. 🙂
It’s been a very long time since I’ve been able to go to a fireworks show. I’m hoping to make it to the fireworks on the 4th of July next year. They are always so beautiful.
Great pictures!
Looks beautiful! I love to watch the light shows from firework displays.
Happy Wednesday!
🙂

You did a great job in capturing the fireworks.
I didn’t get any pics of our fireworks. Like you I was too busy enjoying them in the moment 🙂 Also – very busy swatting away flies that were trying to eat me alive. Ah well! The spectacular fireworks shows are all worth it!
Gorgeous pics! It’s always had to capture photos in the dark. Nice job! Looks like a fun 4th!
The 4th of July is my favorite time of year. We spend so much time with family and capture so many special moments in photographs! So glad you had a great weekend.
How fun. I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July! Great shots!
Great photos, glad to hear everyone had a great time.
Thank you for the linky! Beautiful girls!
Great fireworks photos. Ours got canceled due to flood. That was sad.
