4th of July celebration in Jefferson, Wisconsin, USA

One of my favorite holidays to photograph, Independence Day in America is always a colorful day, full of parades, music, cook-outs, and the best part; the fireworks. I think Wisconsinites were also celebrating because we finally had a day of clear air, without much smoke or haze from the wildfires.

Happy 4th of July!!!

Your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,

Send these, the homeless, tempest tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door."

Unity in diversity! A street art located in a wall!

Wishing all from the USofA a HAPPY, SAFE and a BLESSED Independence Day.

Father of all nations and ages,

we recall the day when our country

claimed its place among the family of nations;

for what has been achieved we give you thanks,

for the work that still remains we ask your help,

and as you have called us from many peoples

to be one nation,

grant that, under your providence,

our country may share your blessings

with all the peoples of the earth.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.
