On July 1st we celebrated Canada's 158th birthday of Confederation. On Friday, July 4th Americans will celebrate 249 years. Happy Birthday to both nations. These two countries are young compared to many nations around the world and we're both experiencing growing pains. I hope the next century will be kind to us all.

The birds always fly with abandon in the early morning |

A lot of people were relaxing in these tents. |

I've just noticed the wolf ? or maybe it's a coyote? on the banners. |

There's some filming going on inside one of the restaurants near the bright lights. |
I started the day with clear blue skies as in the first photo.
Before night fell, I went to the community garden and was there for a short after doing this and that around the home. Most of the people in the park were dog owners; taking Fido out for their evening business. Other patrons were clearly reluctant to leave and lingered on to talk or play the guitar and sing. I enjoyed a mini conference while relaxing nearby to the songstress.
I'd gone to the garden for a bit of weeding and came home with a nice amount of strawberries. Unbeknownst to me my DH had already weeded so I was relieved of my responsibility. The strawberries were definitely a lot tastier than most purchased at the stores but they were also a lot dirtier. You know you can't really wash berries because they spoil more quickly once moisture gets on them.. I washed and used about half of them right away in a smoothie right away and froze the other half.
Earlier in the day I was doing a whole lot of small jobs that just never seem to get done when there are a mountain of daily, larger chores to do. I always feel accomplished when I manage to clear away some of the smaller tasks.

I wound all the large skeins of yarn into balls |

I also got rid of a lot of packaging materials. |
Hello friends and fellow bloggers,
Welcome to my Skywatch Friday post. I hope you are having a great week and wish you all a fabulous weekend.
I took these photos on a recent run to buy vegetables up the street (a short bus ride away).
In the first photo I was trying to capture the wind because the trees were blowing around a lot and they were leaning to the left of the photo. My photo doesn't capture it well.
I love the cloud formations in the next two photos.
I took this photo before I left my home. This is how the day started. I really love how the mist envelops part of the mountains and the seagull flying near the church steeple.
I always appreciate the gardens other people plant. This beautiful flower captured my attention close to where I went shopping for vegetables and fruits.
Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate your visit.
Hello friends and fellow bloggers,
Happy weekend ahead to you all.
Today I'm sharing photos from a recent walk to a small local park. I was able to capture the sun going down.
It was a beautiful evening. The next day it rained heavily.
Thanks for visiting my Skywatch Friday post.
Hello everyone,
After some sunny but not yet quite hot weather, we are now getting more spring showers. You know the old saying? April showers, brings May flowers. But it feels much colder than usual at this time of year and though I know there are flowers elsewhere, mine aren't yet at that stage.
Anyway, I take the rain as it comes. I don't mind it as long it isn't raining heavily for weeks on end as it can sometimes do. We west coasters get out and about no matter the weather. Today I had to get out for a walk and do some errands. I don't carry an umbrella anymore and since it was more than drizzling, I stopped to buy a plastic rain poncho at the dollar store.
I hope you are enjoying the weather and the skies where ever you are. Thanks for stopping by my post for this week's Skywatch Friday.
