I was only able to take a few quick images as we walked the crowded sidewalks into downtown Sausalito to catch the fireworks last night. Two factors, there were throngs of people moving en masse, and I was testing the limits of my family, who would like it very much if I restricted my plastic-collecting to dog walks, or more specifically, times that I'm not with them.
