A ship sails through the Narrows, an iconic Newfoundland landmark. It will be Canada day on July 1st. A day we all can celebrate in this great country
No official fireworks due to the pandemic, but there were lots of people doing their own. Here is a mix of fireworks and city lights.
The only sunny highlight of my day as cloudy skies with periodic rain showers claimed the rest of the Canada Day celebrations at the rodeo and It has been pouring for days. (Insert eyeball roll here) I don't know about other people but I have had enough; time to make hay! Thankfully, this baby poked its head out briefly as if to say, "Canada eh?" Mama grebe had two newborn chicks when I left with two eggs still needing to hatch. If the weather clears I will get back there to check out how the family is doing. I know, you are thinking, "But where are the baby Loons?" Sadly, my Loons never had a successful hatching this year due to a bad windstorm that damaged the nest so I made lemonade and found this pair of Red-necked Grebes instead and have been waiting in anticipation for this day. Normally, I can't get near grebes them being amazing, expert divers and only having a 300mm lens. I have watched this new couple from the beginning battle it out and win for territorial position, then build their sturdy nest at the far end of the lake in a quiet location away from boats. Hopefully I will find loon babies at other lakes someday soon this summer, if not, there is always next year....as they only lay one set of eggs. Needless to say, this was taken from my trusty Yak!
A very different Canada Day today, most outdoor celebrations have been cancelled including the fireworks show. I imagine most people will be staying close to home this year or enjoying the local lakes, beaches and parks.
Climbed Mount St Helens on Canada Day. It was a pretty special climb for several reasons. 1) I climbed it with a friend I've known for almost 30 years, 2) It was my 20th summit of this mountain, 3) It was Canada Day!
Sorry to post and run, I will be back soon to visit everyone's photostreams and comments.
I was hoping to tweak a few things for the Canada Day Fireworks this year. Sadly, there will be no fireworks this Wednesday night. I worked this photo last year, but didn't get around to posting it. I will edit a few more in the next few days just because.

!!!GO CANADA!!!

Some people don't like it, but I don't mind the smoke that accumulates as the evening wears on.

Canada has a birthday on July 1st. Canada Day is a national holiday in Canada that is celebrated with family picnics, barbeques, and fireworks.
Canada Day is always observed on July 1st unless that date falls on a Sunday, in which case it is observed the following day. (Though many people still celebrate on the Sunday).
A long time ago, Canada belonged to Great Britain. Over time, parts of the country joined together and wanted to form their own government.
On July 1, 1867, the British government (under Queen Victoria) approved a plan which allowed Canada to become an independent country with its own government. This new nation, which remained loyal to Britain, was called the Dominion of Canada. At that time, the new Dominion of Canada had only four provinces (Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick). These days, there are 10 provinces and 3 territories.

well, the weather is perfect today for celebrating Canada's 150th birthday, and I'm sure there is going to be a lot of serious partying, there's one starting right in front of this flag festooned carport, lots of drinking, bullshitting and laughter, but then that's every weekend at my brother-in-law's place :)
Back to fireworks for a day. I'm sure there will be more concert photos before long.

Last year on the upcoming Canada Day Holiday, we were in St. John's, Newfoundland, and came across this fellow, who was clearly showing off his patriotic spirit. Happy Canada Day, everyone!
Our moose, beaver & bear.
We've had them a long time.
Canada Day, formerly known as Dominion Day, is the national day of Canada. A federal statutory holiday, it celebrates the anniversary of Canadian Confederation which occurred on July 1, 1867.
