Canada Day

Today is Canada Day and there are apparently some very patriotic Dogs in our city! The owner said she did it with hair dye and lots of patience.

Dogs just wanna have fun!

I walked down by the Bow River this weekend. Everyone-and-his-dog had the same idea - it was too nice to stay indoors - it was a beautiful blue sky day, warm enough for Canadians to wear shorts.
We stopped where this old rail bridge crosses the Bow River to watch a pack of off-leash dogs having a fine old time in the water splashing and playfighting and chasing sticks. When we were done watching we carried on along the river path to Bowness Park for an ice-cream - our first of the year.

By the way, these pictures are straight from the camera...the sky is really this blue in Alberta.
