Our official fireworks show

Over the baseball stadium. We left the fireworks to the professionals. After we six started our holiday weekend with the Syracuse Mets game at NBT Bank Stadium, we stayed in our seats to watch the display over the center field wall. Good work. Our Triple-A organization knows how to do fireworks, offering them after most…

Light up the field

When the grounds crew was working on the NBT Bank Stadium field between innings of the Syracuse Mets game, their orange shoes and belts may have stood out a bit. My dear wife Karen and I left before the post-game fireworks display, but terrific daughter Elisabeth texted this photo as they got ready. Who knew…

Sunsets and fireworks match well

Yes, The Longboard would have a table big enough to fit our big party. No, we never tired of taking our meals together! Or catching a beautiful sunset over Laguna Madre. Or posing for cherished photographs. Or mugging for selfies. And catching fireworks rising over the stage.

Bright and hot these fireworks were

The Syracuse Mets organization knows what to do when a weekend game ends. Toss T-shirts out to fans. Then shoot fireworks off for the crowd. This night’s were very colorful. Smoky, too. A big piece of casing came down on my arm. At least I did not spot a fire such as the one reported…

A new spot to watch the ballpark fireworks works out glowingly

My dear wife Karen and I slung the bags containing our folding chairs over our shoulders and off we walked he night of the Fourth, winding down just a few blocks from A Bitty Better in our Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville in search of a good spot to view the fireworks forthcoming following the Syracuse…

The best fireworks (shots) ever

The fireworks display after the Syracuse Chiefs game on the Fourth this year were awesome. My iPhone 6s was in fine form. Maybe it was the angle from our third-base side seats that came with our four-for-$60 deal. Maybe it was my timing. Whatever the reason, I’m glad to share this year. My dear wife…

We can’t quite see the fireworks from A Bitty Better, but close

There will be events that bring fireworks over Onondaga Lake. My dear wife Karen and I were wondering how far we’d have to wander from the property around A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville to see them. Not bad, we’ve discovered, this perk in our first summer since moving from the Syracuse…

Let the fireworks dazzle over and in CitiField

When our hometown Syracuse Chiefs set off their post game fireworks, the pretty pyro takes place from behind the center-field fence. Which I always thought was good and proper as my dear wife Karen and wonderful daughter Elisabeth and fantastic significant George Three have enjoyed many Triple-A fireworks displays and left NBT Bank Stadium very…
