Why I Almost Missed The Fireworks Tonight

This was the scene as I staked out my spot to shoot the fireworks this evening in Sarasota. Some dark clouds, but no rain. I decided this might not be the best spot, so I walked back to the car and drove five more minutes down the road.

When I arrived at my second destination, remember, only five minutes later, this was the view. And of course, that shower had to blow right over top of me. But as quickly as it started, it ended, and twenty minutes later, it was all over with.
