July in Utah means one thing: fireworks. We have two big celebrations this month: Independence Day and Utah Founders Day. Our city celebrates its founding at the end of June, which also includes two days of carnival activities including massive fireworks displays each night. The Taylorsville Dayzz fireworks displays are timed to music and well coordinated. I was especially happy with this combination of different shades of pink they were able to put together. The color technology used in fireworks gets more and more impressive every year.
IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO FEATURING SHADES OF THE COLOR PINK.
Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.
Here’s how it works:
- Each week, I’ll come up with a theme and post a photo that I think fits. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Thursday, when the next photo theme will be announced.
- To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “A Photo a Week Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ and “Photo a Week” tags.
- Come back here and post a link to your image in the comments for this challenge.
- Follow nancy merrill photography so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements.

The fireworks for the city founders day were the end of June, but Utah’s Founders Day is July 24th and there will be more fireworks then.
I love fireworks and that’s a beautiful shot of these.

Thanks, janet!
I’ve been sick all week, so I haven’t been out very much. But I did have a little something. We didn’t have local fireworks on cable anymore. They stopped carrying it and it’s too far away to go in person. I miss it!
Oh, I’m so sorry! We were up in the mountains on the 4th, so we didn’t see any fireworks that day, but in Utah you can find a good firework display weekly because of all of the city celebrations. I guess most of the cities here were founded in the summer. 😉
Shades of pink… this picture came immediately on my mind: https://geriatrixfotogallerie.wordpress.com/2019/07/13/pink-party/
Wow!!! What a fantastic image … capture fireworks aren’t the easiest thing. Well done.
Thanks! It took me some time to figure out the best settings for my camera, but I’m really happy with the results. 😀
Nancy, you should be … an excellent capture. I’m lazy … I do everything on Auto mode.

You did a great job capturing that star of a firework rocket!
Fabulous fireworks Nancy
Here’s my contribution to Pink
Love the pic. I find fireworks difficult to photograph!
Totally understand. It took me two nights of photographing fireworks to finally get the results I wanted. Thanks!
You’re welcome.

Thanks, Debbie!
Oh my! How gorgeous Nancy. Sorry I haven’t been around. It’s easier to post on instagram… 🙂
No problem! Thanks!
I love the fireworks in shades of pink — not a color I normally think of in relation to fireworks.
Me either. I’m always amazed at the advances they make in fireworks each year. New colors and formations.
Here’s my take: I’m a very avid gardener, and I also like colorful stamps!
Beautiful capture!
Thank you!
Not quite fireworks, but here’s two pink cars…. https://littlecooladventures.wordpress.com/2019/07/15/shades-of-pink/
My favorite color! https://dailymusing57.com/2019/07/15/a-photo-a-week-challenge-shades-of-pink/
