In honor of Canada Day...
Love
your country. Your country is the land where your parents sleep, where
is spoken that language in which the chosen of your heart, blushing,
whispered the first word of love; it is the home that God has given you
that by striving to perfect yourselves therein you may prepare to ascend
to him.
~Giuseppe Mazzini
He loves his country best who strives to make it best.
~Robert G. Ingersoll
And here is a quote which I find appropriate for fireworks, after all I'm in redneck country!
You may be a redneck if...your lifetime goal is to won a fireworks stand.
Jeff Foxworthy
With a lightshow like I saw tonight, why not a fireworks stand?

Absolutely true words . . .
ReplyDeleteI always tell people:
"If a native does not learn how to love his country and show it, then how does he expect a foreigner to love it? - Love your country, it is how you will make the others love it as well!"
Happy Canada Day, Darlene :-)))
Greetz,
Joseph
Thank you Joseph, you speak wise true words.

Cheers.
Oui, Mademoiselle . . . I am back a couple of days ago and the photos are nearly finished :-D

ReplyDeleteRed I did have a great day, thank you. How was your Canada Day spent? I hope you got to watch fireworks, I think that they are good for the spirit and soul!
DeleteHave a wonderful day.
Wow - great captures, Darlene !! You got my nomination. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteLooks like your Canada Day was a very good one. Excellent quotes.
Now enjoy the rest of the week.
Thank you Rick, appreciated!
DeleteCanada Day was fantastic, the only thing we did was go to the fireworks but the rest of the day was totally enjoyable spending it any old way I chose to... and no not writing! lol
I hope you also had an excellent holiday and a fantastic celebration, it sure seems like a Sunday tonight with today being a holiday.
I'll venture over and see what you've been up to and I'm sure you've got some stunning photos posted.
Cheers! Have a wonderful week.
What spectacular fireworks photos. So beautiful!! A group of us Americans are having our own 4th of July celebration here in NZ.
ReplyDeleteKaren I hope you had a wonderful celebration. I'll check for photos once I'm home and have a better internet connection. Large photos or more than one photo take forever to download here so I won't be visiting blogs til next week.
DeleteHave a great day! Cheers.
Wow! just love your firework photos Darlin!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely amazing. Please you were able to enjoy your country's celebrations! ;)
Thank you Shirleyanne, I didn't do anything other than go down to take photos of the fireworks but yes, I had a wonderful day and I'm pleased with the way some of my shots turned out this year. Practice, practice, practice! lol
DeleteHave a wonderful day!
