Mom, Onyx, and I headed south to Arkansas on Thursday June 30th for a four day mini vacation…I had the week off and now wish I had spent a few extra days down in Hot Springs just relaxing a bit more and chilling out. We dropped Mom off in Fort Smith on the way down there so she could chill out for a few days as well. Onyx and I spent three days rockhunting with fellow rockhounds at a couple of quartz mines and visiting with a couple of mineral dealer friends as well….can see more of that story at my rocks blog site \u00a0www.jwjrocks.com <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0I also photographed the fireworks Saturday night from the condo I was renting on Lake Hamilton, with a few of my rockhound friends watching from the balcony with me as well. Last summer I photographed the Mountain Harbor Display on Lake Ouachita, and this year I got to photograph the Lake Hamilton show once again, last time was in 2010. This year`s show was at a little bit slower pace, but still a great show to watch and photograph….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

…yes it sure was a great show this year…great reflections and look at the crowd out there on the water in front of us. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We came home on Monday July 4th and got home in time to rest up a bit and I shot the Sullivan Fireworks Display, this year across I-44 from the Fairgrounds….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sullivan`s display was nice too, just a little shorter than the one on Lake Hamilton….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
