Canada Day in Newfoundland is crazy fun. Parties in every village along the shore, everyone wears red and white (including yours truly) and the musicians and dancers come out in full force. It is marvellous fun. You have to pace yourself as attending EVERY party along the way is de rigeur for many. All surfaces are adorned: face paint, balloons and hats and Canadian flags everywhere.
I took many pictures as it was a spectacularly sunny day. The one above is another clothesline shot. I took a similar ones years ago and it was a best-seller as a card and featured in both large and small calendars. There were clothesline full of clothes along my meandering route. A bit of a wind happening so the drying was excellent. And you haven't lived unless your sheets are run through with ocean breezes.
A friend sent me the video below, our national anthem interpreted by whales. And yes the whales are on their way. We get thousands every year.
Enjoy. It makes me cry. But in a good way.
The whale songs are rather wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSounds like Canada Day is quite a marathon of enjoyment. Did you pace yourself successfully?
Happy Canada Day!
