Wishing you a joyful and meaningful celebration on this Fourth of July! As fireworks light up the sky and barbecues sizzle with delicious food, let us take a moment to remember the significance of this day. It is a time to honor the values that make our nation great – freedom, equality, and the pursuit of happiness.
Today, we commemorate the bravery and determination of our founding fathers, who laid the groundwork for the United States of America. Their vision and unwavering belief in liberty have shaped our nation into what it is today.
On this day, let us appreciate the opportunities and privileges we have as citizens of this remarkable country. We are blessed with the freedom to express ourselves, to follow our dreams, and to contribute to our communities.
Let us unite as Americans, transcending our differences, and celebrate the strength and resilience of our nation. Today, we can look back with gratitude at how far we have come and look forward with hope towards a future of progress and unity.
As we come together with family and friends, let us also remember those who have served and continue to serve our country. Their sacrifices and dedication deserve our admiration and respect.
On this Fourth of July, let us reflect on the importance of cherishing our freedom and strive to build a better future for ourselves and generations to come. May this day be filled with love, laughter, and an appreciation for the blessings we enjoy in this great land of opportunity.
Happy Fourth of July to you and your loved ones. May your day overflow with happiness and may the spirit of independence inspire you throughout the year.

Photography is my passion and has been for 50 plus years. My career in photography has allowed me to travel the world, meet some of the most interesting people on the planet and see things I could never have dreamed of. My goal is to share the passion of picture taking through photographs and teaching with as many people as I can, hoping it brings them as much joy and happiness as it has me. I do this through photoPXL.com, this site, as well as Rockhopper Workshops, and other projects, as well as teaching as Artist In Residence at the Indianapolis Art Center.
