A glimpse into last week’s Canada Day celebrations here in Ottawa, Canada’s capital.

Not the best pictures, but I did manage to get a few of the Snowbirds flying over centretown in Ottawa, pre-Canada Day celebrations tomorrow. Photos taken from my balcony.

First flyby, coming from the south going north. Caught me by surprise as they usually come the other way.

Flying by to the right of me, over the Rideau Canal.

Flying in formation, to the right of me, beside Place Bell.

Zipping by east to west over top of centretown.

Another shot over centretown.

Just heard on Facebook … Mark Lipinski quits New Track Media and is no longer connected with Quilter’s Home magazine. He is also discontinuing any involvement with Quilt Out Loud, QNNtv.com, and Quilter’s Club of America.

Huge news for the quilting world … I wonder what will happen next.

Read Mark’s blog for more info, or follow him on Facebook.

Thanks to my Aunt Judy for these funnies.

Have a wonderful weekend!
