I had a pretty quiet 4th of July but a busy one. An early bike ride to the coffee shop for a bit of reading and writing. I worked on some shots I took the night before. Did some shopping and bought a second pair of shorts as my older ones have shrunk. I spent a couple of hours at the CSU Trial Garden for some flower photos. The garden was also quiet when I arrived but that soon changed after people finished their morning coffees and head over there. I was hoping for a butterfly image but the bees and wasps were happily coming into my viewfinder. For a late lunch I made it over to a mom and pop shop called Taqueria Los Comales and devoured the carnitas plate. The only thing left on the plate when I finished was the skid mark of my nose when I licked the plate. Man, was I stuffed. Gladly people are observing the fireworks ban so there have been very few fireworks going off. It was a quiet day.
