Venice Beach Photos from the 4th of July

Played some paddle tennis and shot some photos on the 4th.  Even at the beach, was a pretty warm day, but sunny and beautiful.  More practice with photo retouching, although not with the following photos.  They came out of the camera pretty well exposed.  There's a pun in there somewhere, but check out the photos and maybe you'll see it.  Or....

Patriotic with a NY Yankee hat.  Yes!

Hope you enjoy these photos.  As the last photo shows, it was a thirsty day.
