Happy Canada Day

These are from last year in Ottawa, I think that Ottawa is the coolest place to spend Canada Day. I watched some of the telecast from Parliament Hill today and miss not being there this year. The patriotic and partying atmosphere is so excellent, everyone is out for a good time wearing red and white and just being so happy........maybe next year we'll go back again.

English Harbour

I recently took a trip to Port Rexton, these pics are from nearby English Harbour. Port Rexton is the home of several very comfortable B&B's It is such a beautiful little part of our world despite the dull day. Once again the icebergs are still lining the coast, it's been an awesome year for the iceberg tourism.

More icebergs @ Twillingate

We made several trips out to the coast over the past couple of weeks in search of icebergs. The best so far was this trip to Twillingate (also in the previous post). They certainly attract a lot of tourists which is excellent for the local area. I really liked the opportunity I had with the rainbow too, my son Tyler is studying the wave action and trying to reach a piece of ice from the berg. He succeeded, and iceberg ice is NOT salty, (I had to try it). Unfortunately we didn't have a cooler as he collected quite a bit and it is good for drinks, lasts longer than icecube ice from home.

Icebergs

We took a late afternoon drive up to Twillingate Sunday and this year there is an abundance of Icebergs. They are all so different and unique. This one has apparently changed dramatically over the past couple of days. It toppled over and kind of split leaving the spire, making it unique. They are so nice to see, I can understand the fascination that the tourists have to come here and see them.

Shrek

With the new Shrek movie out, Macdonalds has had some new toys, and recently my son had Shrek, here Shrek is about to be walked on. The Shrek series has been a wonderfully prosperous venture for Dreamworks and their creative brilliance appeals to an amazingly wide range of audiences. We have yet to see "Shrek the Third" but we are looking forward to the opportunity soon.

Mighty Big Truck

We made a trip to Labrador City recently for my son to compete in The Gymnastic Spring Provincials. There is a large iron ore mine between Wabush and Labrador City. We did a tour of the mine and they have some very large equipment. The Chev pick-up really gives an idea of how big the dump truck really is.

....I've fallen and can't get up....

When I stare at this picture and get the feeling I'm lying on the ground in a daze looking straight up.....won't be long now and the leaves will be out.

Full Moon

This one caught my eye again last night on my screensaver, a little crop and I thought it worthy of posting. Almost takes on an appearance of the northern lights........

Candle light

Very simple candle light, I didn't notice these on the wall till they were lit.

old Dodge

With the leaves still off the trees and the sun glistening in the woods I noticed this old relic in the woods on Gander Bay Road just outside of town. I have been on a bit of a hiatis lately and hope to be a bit more active now showing some of the places I've been over the past month.
