Red was everywhere today, in all kinds of fashion, from hats, tops, shorts, dresses and flags, even umbrellas and blankets. It was a sea of red, all of this to celebrate Canada Day, July 1st and especially the 150th Birthday of Confederation. It was also wall to wall of very proud Canadians from every background, including First Nations Peoples and new Immigrants, some of whom became Canadian Citizens in a special ceremony today. All joined in to celebrate this years special Day. Happy Canada Day to all Canadians everywhere and have a wonderful long summer weekend; let the celebrations continue!
Delightful Darling Debbie Dazzling, And Smiling I Am, At 1 AM - IMRAN™
My delightful dazzling darling friend Debbie is always all smiles, and a joy to be with. Always on the go, always active. Bright-eyed, bubbly, beautiful, even in this photo I took at my home when it was already past 1AM.
Please send her your love and prayers. She is recovering from surgery to remove an unexpected and large kidney stone. The pain brought her to her knees after ignoring for days what she thought was just a back ache from painting her master bedroom - when else - at 3 AM.
Get well soon, DD! ❤️❤️

The evening we turned up here I was to be disappointed re the tide being low and all the surfers leaving the ocean with some regret and more and more people rolling up to just enjoy the autumn sunset. Photographers taking one look and giving up as no rushing water in those channels etc but I like the others hanging around just settled to enjoy the moment. There are crowds of people behind me but everyone was in a good mood and I chatted to a few who lived there or who had an auntie living close by so they could visit whenever they wanted to. It was sort of special without being spectacular - if you know what I mean. Jonathan and our dogs are just out of sight to the right and Merry and Beau just enjoyed having the ball thrown for them. I am a people watcher as I imagine most photographers are unless purely landscape photographers and enjoyed getting a few photos' and felt the mood comes across well in this shot but have a few more with some of the gathered hordes in them. I found the ambience came over in this shot and the ceaseless washing in and out of the ocean and the end of another wonderful day....Sue :)

Darkness, moving subjects coming into the only light, crazy high ISO, and waiting to catch the excitement. It's seeing the wonder and excitement in the faces of the kids that, for me at least, suggests it's beginning to feel... a lot like Christmas!
Last night's Christmas parade was well attended despite windy and wet conditions but sure did make it a challenge to photograph.
The annual #Bristol #bristolballoonfiesta is under way. So far the weather was not permissive for the balloon ascents however I managed to grab this gem during the Thursday's night glow.

" Να σ’ αγναντεύω, θάλασσα,
να μη χορταίνω απ’ το βουνό ψηλά
στρωτή και καταγάλανη και μέσα να πλουταίνω
απ’ τα μαλάματά σου τα πολλά " (Kωστας Βαρναλης)

There was not one but two and both were decked out in costumes that looked to be straight out of a Toulouse-Lautrec painting.
While I can 't speak Dutch I still followed them around the museum because they were such fun to listen to. Their voices were about halfway between singing and talking.
At the end of the guided tour both Van Gogh experts gathered the children in the center atrium with guides and children putting on a little musical for all the other visitors.
This location in front of the Belaggio in Las Vegas I recognized from the movie Oceans Eleven. It's the spot they gathered at the end of the movie, looking at the Bellagio.

I travelled to the Blå Jungfrun National Park last week. It's an island situated between Öland, my home island, and mainland Sweden. Despite growing up here, I had previously never been. During my hike around the island, I noticed another visitor who always appeared to be in a hurry - literally running along the trails. I would catch up to him every now and then, when he'd be seated in the sun just watching the beautiful scenery. Then all of a sudden he'd get up and run to the next spot! This is a photograph I took on the south shore of the island, with the mysterious hiker relaxing on a cliff by the sea.
My dad was waiting on Öland for me as I came back with the ferry. I told him about this guy and it turned out my dad had another puzzle piece of information to give! He had been watching as the ferry boarded in the morning and apparently the guy I was talking about hadn't pre-booked. He just showed up hoping to get on. As the ferry was fully booked, he had to wait until the very last minute, when it became clear that a few people who booked didn't show up. My dad said the guy looked really excited, which explains why he was in such a rush to experience the island in full!
A cheery message mural by Jeffrey Sincich and Josh Stover where a young lady gave a quick pose for this old photographer. The "You Are My Sunshine" mural can be found on the corner of Central Avenue and Seventh Street North in the "Sunshine City," St. Petersburg, FL.
I've already shown photos of this Seine River weekend dance but I still haven't mentioned just how old school they are kicking it. These people are not coupled off. The dances begin by a gentleman walking up to a lady and saying "May I have the pleasure of this dance."

Can you hear the sounds and smells of a worm summers night? Grabbed this while listening to laughter from afar.
Time goes by n the blink of an eye but in the meantime enjoy all the little moments, holding a child as you rock them to sleep, making faces and funny baby noises to your infant. The sound of a rocking chair, singing lullabies, even changing diapers and burping can be on occasion to celebrate. The is one of my granddaughters. Breath deep repeat and keeping rocking to slumber land. My sandman sing me a song.
PS : Ask Alexa, Spotify, Siri and Amazon to play some music by JOHN WILLIAM HAMMOND (use all 3 names) a great mix of joyful songs.

A stone's throw from Notre Dame this is one of the oldest streets running along the Rive Gauche in Paris, and perhaps the most touristy. For the American tourist looking for a quick bite on a budget, many establishments will stuff your stomach with bad food for less than you would spend at a McDonald's or Burger King.
Even though I can only handle it once per Paris visit I have a sort of long term relationship with this particular establishment. Gyros can range from very bad in Paris to about what you'd expect on the streets of Manhattan. After my first try I ended up throwing one in the garbage and swearing off Paris gyros. But this place changed my mind.
The relationship began with my clowning around suggestion two years back that "'Perhaps with all of the American tourist around here 'Ass.' is probably not the best way to abbreviate assorted.'" As in "May I have an ass gyro or an ass steak." Rather than tell me to "Go screw myself" there was a good laugh and some friendly banter. So I felt obliged to try another Paris gyro and it was not one of those fatty disgusting ones I'd sworn off. A little more fatty than a Manhattan gyro but close enough to seem like a taste of home.
I still haven't had my annual sit down at Maison de Gyros but I was passing by and got a wave.

We celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied and multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.

If you should ever find yourself on Boulevard de l'Hôpital between Rue Buffon and Rue Nicolas Houel, you can't go wrong stopping in at a tiny storefront called "Fabrice Artisan Boulanger."
It was just around the corner from my Paris apartment. On my third or fourth day in Paris I passed it by at lunch and saw twenty people waiting on line. With so many lunch options in the area, I figured I'd better get on the back of the line.
Really no more than a glass case and a cash register on the sidewalk. When the owners posed for this photo I got most of the glass case in the background behind his shoulder. But there is plenty of kitchen space behind and that is where the magic happens. The breads and desserts are great but the sandwiches were to die for.
After my first wait I soon found out that all they had to do was spread some of their home made mayonnaise on bread and it was worth the wait. My first try was roast beef on a baguette but my favorite soon became tuna with boiled egg, lettuces and tomato.
Waiting on line in Paris is extremely social and on my last wait for lunch I got someone to translate how much I enjoyed eating there. I saw a tear in the man's eye and he attempted to give me my sandwich for free. I will be back. I may not be in the same neighborhood but it's worth the trip on Metro number 5 to Gare d'Austerlitz for another taste.
