Today is Canada Day and this marks 144 years since Confederation occurred in 1867. Most businesses are closed and there will be celebrations and fireworks all over the country with even Prince William and Kate joining the festivities in Ottawa.
I am taking this day as a day of reflection (in my vintage Mountie T-shirt) and joining in Weekend Reflections! For more reflections, click here.
Happy Canada Day, enjoy your celebrations.
ReplyDeleteVery creative shot/self-portrait for Canada Day, the T-shirt is soooooo cool!

I like the shape of your mirror! and i love your t-shirt!
ReplyDeleteHappy celebration to you!
Now that is a great T-shirt and this is a great shot! Very nicely done! Roughly 9 years ago, I visited Toronto for this very same weekend and I loved seeing all the flags, fireworks, and people out enjoying the holiday. Then when I flew back to Chicago (I was working there at the time) I got to see more fireworks because the 4th of July, our independence day had arrived. It was a weekend full of color and surprises!
ReplyDeleteHappy Canada Pat. Love the T-shirt.
ReplyDeleteBest of the day to William.
Neat! That's a fabulous mirror.
