Only July 4th, I went driving up into the mountains along the Poudre River.  It was very pretty.  Along the way, I passed a dead horse on the side of the road!  It was just ever so slightly unnerving...  I then went out at night to watch the fireworks.  The fireworks pictures were heavily cropped to get the actual blast to the main part of the picture because I was far away on a hill (which is apparently a very popular idea in Ft. Collins as there were a bunch of families up there as well) taking these pictures.
