Today, February 15, 2025, marks the 60th anniversary of Canada’s maple leaf flag, a symbol of unity and national values. Amid rising tensions with the U.S., including proposed tariffs and sovereignty threats from Trump, patriotic sentiment in Canada has surged, doubling flag sales. This anniversary serves as a reminder of Canada's commitment to freedom, justice, and unity, reinforcing national identity during a critical period of diplomatic challenges.
Touring eastbound through the Thompson River Canyon west of Drynoch, British Columbia, is a Canadian National passenger train on July 5, 2004. The train is on Canadian Pacific rails, and is piloted by brand new CP AC4400CW No. 9807, with CN’s brightly-painted E9A Nos. 102 and 103 trailing the big GE on the five-car train. This part of the canyon sees both railroads performing directional running between Mission and Basque, with CN handling the westbounds and CP running the eastbounds.
People far smarter than I have suggested that Canada's true birthday is November 7, 1885, the day the last spike was driven on the Canadian Pacific Railroad. CP has painted up 10 locomotives(SD70ACU's) in their original tuscan and red colours scheme, hearkening back to better; probably better times of the 1950's. The national debt was almost non- existent, and there were 2 daily cross country trains on CP as opposed to none now. Today, July 1st, one of these beautiful engines lead a now typically enormous freight train east of Cambridge Ontario, and the imagination of days past fills the heart. Happy Canada Day.

Branta canadensis - Spring and the thaw seems to have come early to Payette Lake (Idaho)...and so have the geese.
Bold red typography stands out against weathered concrete at the Beaches Olympic Pool in Toronto. A relic of mid-century civic design, the word itself becomes a statement — a reminder that transformation can speak softly, yet resonate deeply.

Last year a pair of Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) attempted to nest at a nearby lake. While they were unsuccessful in the end, I got plenty of chances to watch the pair's "marital duties".
Although males and females of this species are identical in plumage, it was usually easy to tell them apart based on their actions and roles. In this shot the male is standing tall, keeping watch for the female while she grazes nearby.
There are two Canada and three Cackling geese in this photo.
A flock of a couple doszon geese came in when Peter S spotted the cackling geese.
This is the second time I have photographed a Cackling goose.

Decided to composite 5 images of a Canada Goose landing. Why? Just practicing a bit - it really only took less than 15 minutes, and it's good to try out new editing...
This Canada goose swam up close to me. I think he was expecting a handout but I had nothing to give him.
