A Bow Tie, shell of bees and a shell of whistlers
132
Here's one where this beautiful shell went up, and while it was draping down a batch of salutes went off. Not a bad effect!

Another Bow Tie with a Flying Fish shell.

One of Charles Phillips mines
139
Another mine, with some ground-effect bees. (Sometimes called 'Cat Chasers') You know you're amonst kindred spirits when after this you hear "Hey, ya got another one of those? That was fun!"

Bees. You either love'em or hate'em.

These were purple cracklers. Nice stars, great purple, noisy and long lasting. Great stuff!

OK, so I worked on the blues on this one. Hard to get blue and white to show up at the same time.
147
The Saturn Missle stuff had some interesting colors to it. It was just fun to shoot these things.

This was the last shot of the event for me. I had to scurry back home to handle some family matters so I was forced to miss Armogeddon and some great stories. Bet I'll be there next yer....
