Skywatch Friday

We celebrated Canada Day yesterday with a Parade and Fireworks celebration in our town of Abbotsford yesterday. For Skywatch Friday, a few pictures taken at the Parade downtown.

The skies were grey and cloudy and a drizzly rain fell most of the day as well. Not the sunshine the weatherman hinted at!

For a small city such as Abbotsford, our parade was three hours long. Lots of entries to be seen.

Grey skies did not dampen the celebratory atmosphere of the crowds or the participants.

The Shriners, who do so much to raise funds for children with disabilities and their families, on their scooters. Even with the constant drizzle of rain, the streets remained dry.

Happy Canada Day to all!!

Color Carnival

We have a park called Rocky Point Park that has a children's Water Park that is very cool and colourful. It makes a great entry for this month's Colour Carnival!!

It was a little cold on the day we visited so the water is not turned on

The building in the back has a gift store/cafeteria and change rooms as well. It is colourful as well and a good backdrop to the waterpark.

These balls have numerous holes for water to shoot out of.

I think water shoots out of his nose!

And finally......

Today is also Canada's 143rd. Birthday so Happy Canada Day to all Canadians!

Today's Flowers

A few flowers today for you that I took while visiting Bloedal Conservatory in Vancouver.

I think this is a Hibiscus flower. Please correct me if I am wrong!!

A few blossoms from a tree, not sure at all what kind they are, except pretty!!

I think this is a Lily of some sort. I like how the petals reach up and the flower's stamens go down.
