Fireworks illuminate the night, . . .

Fireworks captured in Waukegan, Illinois. The blends of different colors, shapes and lengths seems appropriate for the weekly prompt. For some reason, I decided to dig deep into my archives and pulled something from my point and shoot camera days. This was also from a time when I renamed image file, rather than maintaining the number of the image file (i.e. dsc4536 or IMG4536). That was a big mistake and I quickly learned my lesson.

Weekly prompt: Blended

Indeed, naming and renaming files, or adding data to them, can be quite a challenge. Nevertheless, you've managed to retrieve a splendid image from your archives.

A beautiful capture and good idea for the theme Steven! I also rename image files with own names and numbers and I find it's a good way to do it, at least for me ;-)

"Back with a BANG", Steven. This is just wonderful and so right for the weekly prompt.
After I "fix" pictures I jeep the original number of the photo but I add the file name and the year. For overtime I had many picture with the same number (I "hardly" take pictures) and they would override.
Welcome back!!!
