Summer Holidays

As  school bus driver I look forward to summer holidays as much as any student.

In Canada we have summer holidays from July 1st to the beginning of September.

I started my holiday time off by watching the local fireworks on July 1st,Canada Day.

These are my first attempts at photographing fireworks and I have a lot to learn.

I know that a tripod would have helped,but considering these shots are handheld,I think they are acceptable.

While waiting for the sun to set so the fireworks could begin,I took this picture.

The scene was so pretty,but I once again was lazy photographer and took this through the windshield of my car.

 At home on my yard,this Grey Catbird has been hanging out around the house.I am pretty sure he has or had a nest somewhere close,but have never found it.

Flowers have been few on my yard,especially on the perennials.

I had to capture this Day Lily while it was there.I hope this plant continues to grow and give me more flowers next year.

I will be away from Blogland for a while,so if I don't leave comments on your blog,that is the reason.

I will be back before long,hopefully with more pictures to share.
