Independence Day in Idaho Falls

On the way from northern Idaho back to Utah, we stopped in Idaho Falls for the night. I'd heard Idaho Falls's Melaleuca's Independence Day fireworks show, part of a larger Freedom Celebration, is supposedly one of the best in the nation, but I'd never seen it. It lasted about a half hour, choreographed to music and spoken word reminding listeners of the history of our nation and the significance of the holiday, broadcast on a local radio station. The pace and intensity of the fireworks matched the music, and I particularly remember seeing green fireworks followed by red ones during What a Wonderful World, performed by Louis Armstrong, where he says, "trees of green, red roses too..." It was a good show, and I'm glad I finally got to see it. ...and practice taking pictures of fireworks for the first time. Below is a small sample of the way-overly-abundant results.
