Happy Canada day to my fellow Canucks! Weather is perfect here on the east coast
Having a fun filled day of tidal bore rafting and BBQ.... Hope everyone else is having a fun day too!
Same to you! It's beautiful and HOT in southern Ontario. We have been very lucky this year - almost every holiday weekend has been fabulous weather. Perfect day to barbecue, get to the beach, or just kick back and do nothing (my personal favourite!)

Time marches on. Eventually you realize it's doing it across your face.
And a Happy Canada day to all our northern neighbors.
Yes happy Canada Day!
Happy Canada Day! Hope you enjoy.
What is tidal bore rafting? Sounds exciting and dangerous all at once!
Your totally right Jeff Tidal bore rafting is fun and dangerous all at the same time! The bay of fundy has the worlds highest tides ( the tidal bore) and the shubie river off the bay of fundy fills up with water so quickly it creates huge waves 10 to 16 feet! Imagine it like water sloshing against the side of a bowl! To give you a reference the water level rises 20-30 feet in 2 hours.
So basically you hold on for dear life and scream at the top of your lungs (you also go mud sliding on the river banks...which is super messy and fun) then after 2-3 hours you kiss dry land and have a big BBQ. Fun times in the maritimes! I have done it least once a summer for the past 8 years, it's always one of the funnest summer days every year....I highly recommend it if your ever in this neck of the woods!
Yay! totally exhausted from work so I am in bed but yay country!
Happy Canada Day! We started out with rain in northern Ontario but it cleared up and turned into a great day!
I'll post a link to the fireworks pictures I took. I am currently attempting to upgrade my aperture library then I can upload them
If you all would like some more fireworks pictures! They were taken on my iPhone so they aren't perfect.

I agree! They are 1,000 times better than anything I've ever taken!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
And thanks for the info on the tidal bore rafting, petriedish. Now if I am ever in our neck of the woods and someone asks me to go, I'll know exactly what I am getting myself into! Haha.
