Celebrating the 4th in Georgetown, Texas

Whew!  It’s been a long couple of days in Georgetown, Texas as I set about the task of recording photos of 4th of July events in the area.  The coverage actually began a day early, when Sun City held their people and pooch parade.   On hand for that were the Sun City Georgettes, a very cool and colorful bunch of ladies with far more energy than yours truly.   Moving ahead to Friday,  I virtually lived in San Gabriel Park for the Georgetown Sertoma Club’s 4th of July extravaganza.   That began in the morning with their Hometown Parade through the park.   Chase Anderson, 3, and his cousin, 4-year-old Tye Glasscock, were astride their vibrant rides in the opening photo, but were smart to share a cold drink on a hot morning before moving forward.   After about 6 hours, I wandered back to my home in Taylor  to work on the day’s shoot for a few hours, then headed back to the park for the fireworks show.   Alas, San Gabriel Park is so very dark, it’s a tough thing to juxtapose the fireworks with the spectators, but as always, I gave it maximum effort.  Tennessee, a miniature horse that’s part of Fry’s Fun Farm petting zoo, was a big hit.  He’s a month old and only weighs about 30 pounds!    These are a few of the photos I shot for my friends at the Williamson County Sun.
