Who’s ready for Independence Day weekend? As you head off to snap pictures of this year’s fireworks, we’d love some images of the weekend’s celebrations focused on people and places (not just fireworks, beautiful as they can be) for the Greater and Lesser Washington Flickr pool! In the meantime, here are our favorite new images this week, showcasing the best and worst of the Washington region.
