HAPPY BIRTHDAY ♥ DADDY JIM

whether on the beach at low tide

or strolling along a new section of the Atlantic View Trail

or gathering debris from the beaches

or bundling up to capture nature's roar 

of waves 

at Martinique Beach

or sifting through the heathers at Point Pleasant Park

or slipping across the parking lot 

to capture the egret that 

took up residence in our area this spring

to checking out the garden before the greenery

multiplies like mad

(as it it did this year)

to an end of the evening stroll in the mist

to assisting Jim with some photos 

as the sun was setting on the hill

I wish Daddy Jim the 

Happiest of Birthdays.

He has been so kind to me 

and

may I add to anyone who crosses his path.

You are the best Doggy Daddy around

and

I couldn't imagine anything better 

than your soft touch and big smile.

So without further ado ~~
presents need to be opened.

CANADA DAY, EH .¸¸♥¸¸.•*¨*•♫♫♪

The city and country 

are celebrating 

our 150th birthday today.

The red flag is everywhere

even arm and arm 

with a city flag.

Double Reflections captured the flags

in these nearby windows

also sharing a moment 

with bouquets of flowers

and sitting high

on the mast of this ship in foreground 

as a myriad of vessels

ply the waters or are docked in the harbour.
