A few now look like the virus, where before they would merely have looked like fireworks. But there were many more to distract, to resemble waterfalls, and multi-colored explosions. Before they looked like the virus, they looked like military explosions, sadly. And they are never good for animals. For me, though, fireworks still thrill, resembling flowers, Spirograph, spectacle. Who knows what they new year will bring?

Googling Wikipedia, I found these early depictions.

Have a great one, and thank you for reading.
