I was looking through the Shutter Sisters Flickr pool for an image to feature in today’s Love Thursday post, but when I got to this one, I stopped cold. I mean, seriously, for the Thursday after Independence Day here in the United States, could there possibly be a more perfect image?
And lest you think this image was a fluke, one quick glance at Kristal’s Flickrstream will convince you it isn’t. She’s a fabulous photographer. Be sure to check out her blog, as well.

yay! We did some of our own sparkler images over Memorial Day weekend. It took us a while to figure out how to write our names backwards for the camera…and then we held hands to create the "&" and the heart. =)
