Oh, Canada, glorious and free

Happy Birthday, Canada, 151 today.
A memento of times of long ago when the earth was young and I was too...

Very nice lighting and I like the texture of the background too.

Happy birthday indeed! I seem to remember being young once too.... trouble is that while my body complains at the ravages of time my mind still thinks it's invincible....

@joev Thanks, Joe

@julienne1 As a Canadian friend once said, it now takes hours to do what I used to do for hours. Mum was right, this getting older business isn't for wimps but fortunately you don't have to be constantly on the move if your hobby is photography!

Lovely pin (?)

[Jesika]

@sailingmusic It is, yes. Can't remember whether I bought it for myself or my mother, but it's an important reminder of years I enjoyed in Montreal & Ottawa so very long ago

Quite pretty lighting and tones - a lovely symbol of Canada.

It is a lovely memento and it gives you very good memories! Beautiful!

@milaniet Thanks, Milanie. It's so very long ago and I'm unlikely to return now.

@stownsend Memories indeed. 3 feet of snow overnight, that HUGE diamond ring an Aussie friend & I tried on in Mapin & Webb on St Catherine's St, His Lordship The Mighty Muscles finding and adopting me, the magnificent Oratory, the winter ice festival in Ottawa ON the river. Stop it, you're getting maudlin...
Thank you, Suzie
