Very rarely if ever have I caught two of these geese nearly synchronized and in focus....(This one is severely cropped)
I could hear these Canada Geese before I could see them, luckily I had already set the camera up to take this scene the geese were a complete surprise!
A Re-Edit of one of my all time favourite images from my trip to Canada, plus I had the pleasure of spending my 40th Birthday in one of the most beautiful parts of our tiny world.

♪♫♬ I told this guy where I was from
He said oh, Canada
Kinda laughs it off, real funny huh?
Yeah, uh, come on
1-2, 1-2,
Mic. check, 1-2, 1-2
Yeah
(O Canada)
Uh, yeah
From the land of the lost
Trans-Canada cross
Patriotic and a honor
With a hand on my heart
From the greatest of lakes
To the greenest of greens
To the rockiest mountains
And everything in between
O-o-o Canada
Oh you're no fan of us?
'Cause our movie and TV shows are so amateur?
Yeah, we laugh at off, that don't really bother me
Look, we ain't serious unless you really gotta be
Humorous attitude like Kids in the Hall
Like Jim Carrey Mike Myers yeah we claiming them all
It's the great white north
Home of the funniest actors
The butt of the joke
With an abundance of laughter
The red and white flag
Keep it high keep it visual
People see Canada and get stereotypical
Think we finish every sentence with buddy or bye
And if it ain't that its either dude, eh or guy
(Canataka A)
Yeah we considerate people
And smoking marijuana
We consider it legal
Still doing rap like the 1990's
But that's how we like it off timed and grimy
I know where I'm from and I told ya before
North of America hard to ignore
Every time I go away I tell them for sure
I'm from Canada o-o-o Canada
O Canada o-o-o Canada
(O canada)
I'm from Canada
O-o-o Canada
I've been around the globe and
Heard the confusion
Honestly a lot o y'all are ignorant and stupid
Yes, we have microwaves, tv's and cell phones
Unintelligent fuck we invented the telephone
We made Yahtzee
The light bulb, hockey
And bred the greatest playa's Gretzky to Crosby
We all got at least one drinking buddy
And after one drink, all of us think we're funny
Our national mascot's a damn beaver
O Canada we love our beaver
Home o' Hell's Angels the North-CMP
Home of Gordon Lightfoot and SCTV
No doubt, the underground railroad
Georges St. Pierre
Right here is where he calls home
Our health care system
Y'all know its free
Keep a girl banging with a full mouth of teeth
I won't even get into the music industry
They say hip hop is dead
Naw its up north with me
I could do this all day its a part of my routine
But supper's almost done and tonight poutine
I know where I'm from and I told ya before
North of America hard to ignore
Every time I go away I tell em for sure
I'm from Canada o-o-o Canada
**(I'm from the east coast of Canada)
O-o-o Canada
(I'm from the east east east coast)
Yo yo!
See I'm from Canada so sometimes the words come out of my mouth like this
Get used to it ♪♫♬
**I'm not originally from Canada, but 10 years of freezing my face here makes me one. Happy 150th, my adopted home! :black_large_square::maple_leaf::black_large_square:

Anyone that knows me, knows of my huge passion and love for boats, ships and tugs.
The Ku'ulakai is by far my most favorite tug.
This beautiful old girl is being lovingly refit and moored in the historic, fishing village of Steveston.

Happy Canada Day!
"This special holiday celebrates the anniversary of the July 1, 1867, enactment of the Constitution Act, 1867 (then called the British North America Act, 1867), which united the three separate colonies of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick into a single Dominion within the British Empire called Canada. The origin of the name "Canada" comes from the expedition of explorer Jacques Cartier up the St. Lawrence River in 1535. The Iroquois pointing out the route to the village of Stadacona, the future site of Quebec City, used the word "kanata," the Huron-Iroquois word for village."

Wishing all my Canadian friends and all the fans of Canada a Happy Canada Day!

This is my favorite warbler that I've seen in my life. A skulker in nature, Canada Warblers love to live in aspen groves, preferably on an incline, and with moist, leafy undergrowth. Singing at mid-level in early morning, they descend to near the forest floor in the daytime, where they're elusive and secretive. They are only found in eastern forests, and their range creeps into British Columbia, where a few hundred nesting pairs breed each year. The key to finding these stunning warblers in to always find their habitat in early morning, listen for their song ( reminiscent of Lazuli Bunting in my opinion, and always begins with a "tip", differentiating them from Yellow, Chestnut-sided, and Magnolia Warblers ), and look for them perched extremely concealed midway up bushes and aspens.

With a "bright" idea, my son's help and a supply of sparklers, I came up with this way of celebrating our 144th Birthday as a nation.

Happy Canada Day to all Canadians around the world!
Happy Birthday Canada ! / Bonne Fête du Canada !
Canada Day celebrates the birthday of Canada. On July 1, 1867 Canada became a new federation with its own constitution by signing the Constitution Act - formerly known as the British North America Act. Canada Day is a national statutory holiday celebrated in all provinces and territories.
A southbound Canadian Pacific train works at Cranbrook, BC during the evening hours of Canada's 150th birthday. While celebrations are in full swing across the country, the railroad that united, strengthened and helped build Canada, quietly goes about its business keeping the commerce of the nation rolling.
Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadian!! Have a safe and wonderful celebrations!!
I merged two of my own images, The Toronto Skyline with the iconic CN Tower and the Canadian Flag to create this image.

Riding Mountain National Park. Manitoba. 6/7/2017.
I always wanted to photograph one of these in Canada. Amazing that they can be found within a few hours of my home here in Georgia as well.
Happy Canada Day (July 1) 150 to all my Canadian Flickr friends/contacts! I thought a singing Canadian Canada warbler might be appropriate for the occasion.
Riding Mountain is a beautiful park. it is situated on an elevated escarpment about an hour north of the city of Brandon in SW Manitoba. There the grasslands give way to boreal forest. There is much wildlife, including large mammals, and many bird species.
We even saw a N0rthern Hawk 0wl there (in June!) thanks to a tip from a local. I also got my lifer B0real Ch1ckadee.
We spent part of two separate days in the park. I think I could easily spend a week there and not get bored. There is much to explore.
