Well, it just wouldn't feel like Canada Day without rain, not that I'm complaining. The plants and the grass are in desperate need of the water.

 

Sadly though, I was lazy this morning and didn't pull the camera out until after the rain started.

 

I didn't venture far from home though, I'm not a fan of the crowds downtown and prefer the quiet neighbourhood gatherings and BBQ's (no, the rain did not stop us).

 

Whatever your weather, my fellow Canadians, wherever you may be, I hope you had an amazing day. (Of course, I hope the same for everyone else)
