I love fireworks and the city put on a good show out over the lake for Canada Day. The weather was perfect and there were lots of boats …
… and people on the beach …
… to see this …
… and this …
… and this, too …
…followed by a fantastic grand finale.
Happy Thursday. 🎇
Many thanks to all who have followed, liked or commented over the past year; you have been very much appreciated. I’ve enjoyed our comment-chats, your travels, your gardens, your walks and hikes, your photography, your musings and your thinkings. As the years pile up on this blog, it’s been, and continues to be, a wonderful experience to connect with so many different people from all over the world.
The sun sets on one year …
… and we welcome another.
Happy 2025!
We enjoyed the Canada Day fireworks that were set off over Okanagan Lake.
Loads of boats on the lake and people in the adjacent park to see the show.
Almost everyone, young, old and in between, loves to see fireworks.
There was lots of applauding and honking of boat horns …
… and the show was enjoyed by all.
Happy Tuesday.
A flotilla of small boats crowded the Okanagan Lake shoreline in preparation for the fireworks on Saturday night, Canada Day.
Seeing everyone out on the water and gathered near the waterfront and around one of the waterfront parks for the show was exciting.
As the sun went down and the moon appeared, the show began.
And intensified …
… until the finale.
Although the covid restrictions have been fully lifted since 2022, I am strongly reminded of how wonderful it is to be able to do these sorts of things; it’s something I am unlikely to take for granted ever again.
Happy long weekend Monday.
A fantastic Canada Day display.
I am away in the far north at the moment: 68° north latitude, to be exact, in Inuvik, Northwest Territories.
We are in between the national days of Canada and the United States, so, I hope all you Canucks had a fabulous Canada Day, 🇨🇦 and to our great American cousins, I hope you have a brilliant July Fourth 🇺🇸.
Happy Fireworks Days!
Today is Canada Day – our national holiday. Canada is officially 146 years old.
It’s time for fun, food and fireworks.
I am a very proud, patriotic Canadian and am grateful to have been born in this country. Many, many others are not so lucky and are stuck in some awful place where they have little or no control over their lives, especially the girls and women.
Today I give thanks for the privilege of an accident of birth.
Happy Birthday, Canada!
