Northeast Georgia Antique Auto Region (NGAAR or (NeGAAR)
July 4th Parade and Car Show, Demorest, GA (July 4, 2014)
I am definitely living and learning in the mountains, as they say at NGTC!
I spent Independence Day in Demorest taking pictures at the Parade and Car Show.
I learned a lot about what NOT to do, like: never leave your camera bag back at the car because you may want the other lens (that's in the camera bag); don't forget to change the setting on the camera back after using a special setting; and, next time, don't forget to use sun screen - my face got pretty red!
But I had a lot of fun taking pictures, talking with car owners and NGAAR club members, and just being there and being involved.
Here are four of the over 150 pictures I took:
But it wasn't over... later that evening, parked at a good location, I watched the beautiful Fireworks with some of my family. Ahh-hh!!!
SO-O pretty!

First site of the Parade;

After the Parade
A church in Demorest caught my eye;

At the Car Show
Owner: Grady Cowart
1953 Ford F-100
I like the interesting affect caused by the lens shade. Cool!
(Well, actually, it was VERY hot!)
I don't know the owner or make and model,
but it's pretty cool!!
1968 Chevy Camero SS
Owner: Bobby Ayers
Right after the Parade was over,
I spotted this car coming down Main Street.
I quickly pulled out my camera; the owners stopped
(stopping the flow of traffic)
allowing me to take several pictures.
When I was done, and with a friendly wave and smile, they drove on.
No one seemed to mind!
I have no idea who the owners were or what kind of car it was,
but it was an amazing experience and an awesome car!
So, whoever you are - thank you!!
So, the celebration ended so nicely!

What a fantastic day!!
My only regret was that I couldn't stay for the Car Show Awards. I needed to pick up my grandchildren. (Not that I minded seeing my Grandchildren - of course - but I hated missing the Awards!)
Speaking of Grandchildren; I would like to do a photo shoot with them. That would be fun. Maybe one at a time? Locally, I have four! Out of state, I have one more.
Until next time; keep your smile ready for my camera - you never know when I might spot you in the crowd and sneak a shot!! LOL
