Flight 0347 !

Our flight number 0347 from Montreal to Paris.
 At Charles De Gaulle this is our AirbusA380-800. Céline was somewhat apprehensive, calling it the flying fortress. The Airbus A380 is a double deck, four-engine that carries 538 passengers in its smaller configuration (638 in sardine configuration). It is the largest passenger airliner in the world.

Spiderling vs Rooster

An unfortunate spiderling tries in vain to escape by crawling up the web, eventually losing to the hungry and very stylishy coiffed rooster. This photograph was captured near Croydon, Ont.

Baie des Ha! Ha!

Sunset over La Baie des Ha! Ha!  La Baie is a borough of the city of Saguenay, located where the Riviere a Mars flows into the Baie des Ha! Ha!
The Saguenay River is a major river of Quebec draining into the St Lawrence River at Tadoussac.
The river has a very high flow-rate and is bordered by steep cliffs associated with the Saguenay graben. Tide waters flow in its fjord upriver as far as Chicoutimi (about 100 kilometres). Many Beluga whales breed in the cold waters at its mouth. Greenland sharks also frequent the depths of the fjord, which is at some points 800 ft deep.

The Oldest Covered Grandstand In Canada

The oldest covered grandstand in Canada is in Almonte, Ontario.  Built in 1868, the grandstand has been used annually from May to October for various events and can seat approximately 650 people. Over the years spectators have used this facility to watch horse races, judging of livestock classes, football, soccer, softball, lacrosse., fireman's competitions and demolition derbies.

The North Lanark Highland Games have been held on the grounds for over 25 years, and the RCMP Musical Ride has made three appearances.

Double Pot O' Gold !!

A double rainbow !!
" In a double rainbow, the second arc is seen above and outside the primary arc, and has the colours reversed (red faces inward toward the other rainbow in both rainbows) This second rainbow is caused by light reflecting twice inside water droplets. ...Although legendary, triple rainbows are impossible. "

No Thanks, Not For Me

Most dogs dislike grapes and it appears that Elsie is no exception. (Dogs prefer beer) And if she did like wine we definitely would not have allowed her to sample, even if it was Christmas. Originally thought to be an urban legend, it is now known that raisins and grapes are indeed toxic to dogs.
This image was captured with a Canon T1i at  f/4 with an exposure of 1/60.
