I can't even imagine getting a picture like this with my old Kodak. This new camera has a setting called "Fireworks" so I was just waiting for the 4th to have a chance to try it out. Unfortunately, there is a significant delay, so I had to take a lot of pictures before I accidently caught one just right.

Remove - to do away with; eliminate.

This space used to be occupied by a HUGE boulder, which was all kinds of fun for a little girl to climb on and jump off. Years passed, and the same little girl grew up, and bought the house (and the boulder) and her adult eyes saw it as nothing but a lawn-mowing obstacle. Luckily, she found a family who needed said boulder, AND they were willing to remove it. It took a few tries, but they got it moved to their yard and now mine is obstacle free. They were willing to take all of our boulders. Thank you Adams Family!! (not Addams family). Anyone have a few pieces of sod to spare?

Full - Constituting the full quantity or extent; complete.

We spent the evening up at Lane's parents tonight. Lane's sister was up from her home in Aurora, his other sister has moved back home from New York, and Lane's cousin is here visiting from Colorado so we had a nice visit with everyone. As we were driving back home, we noticed how gorgeous the moon was as it came up over the mountains, but it's impossible to get a nighttime picture from a moving car (or a least impossible for me) so I had to wait until we got home to snap a picture. I tried to get a picture every time we stopped at a light, but as (my) luck would have it, the stop light or a street sign or something ugly was in the way.
