I forget how awesome the fireworks are on the 4th. The ones on New Year’s are a different story all together.

My friends Cyrus and Jessica enjoyed the 4th with us this year. We finished the night dancing on the roof, just like my Mom would have wanted.

I had a good cry when Firework by Katy Pery came one. My mom loved that song and it was something she always danced to on the 4th. She is missed, and we are finding new ways to carry her spirit on.

The fires in Yolo County (yes that’s real life) made the sky so yellow this week.

It made the light so weird. Something that you notice more when you’re a photographer. It felt very apocalyptic.

    I am so scared for California for fire season this year (I live near Riverside, down South). It was just such a dry winter, and the past few days we were up past 110. Ugh. Speaking of fire, though, you had an awesome view of the fireworks! Beautiful!

  • ELLEN

    A spectacular week indeed! Cooper is one gorgeous young fella…watch out world! Your photos of him are breathtakingly beautiful. Lobster for 4th of July, I love it! I am enjoying your #100daysartbeforebreakfast project, you are so talented. I printed the recipe and am making this Blueberry Pudding Cake today. Thank-you for sharing!

    • Tracy

      yay! Thanks for your kind words. I am glad that you’ve been enjoying my art practice. It’s been a challenge, but it makes me feel better to know that it has inspired others to paint, and has helped me learn names of plants and flowers during the process.

      enjoy the cake!

      xo

  • Jane M

    OMG the best week in pictures EVER! EPIC! LOVED them ALL!

  • Maureen Carmichael

    Tracy, I made the blueberry cake for a cookout…it was a BIG hit. So yummy!! Thank you for sharing the recipe. Love your blog and always look forward to whatever you may post. Your art work is impressive! Have a great week!

  • Becky B

    OMGosh, Cooper is practically a grownup! Who allowed him to get so big?
    Kitty toe beans! They’re my favorite <3

  • Morgan Lemma

    Please tell me you’re going to spill the beans on that ice cream cake soon!!
