Remember that Contest?

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Quite awhile ago now, I wrote about entering a Henry’s Photo Contest and showed you some shots I’d taken and such. Well, as all too often happens around here, I forgot to update you on how that went!

Happy Canada Day, Nation!
Although I hadn’t done it in many years, tonight, with My Girlfriend, I headed out to my local community park, grabbed a square metre-or-so of grass and watched the fireworks display. For a locally run show, it was quite impressive.
Canada, here’s to another great year!
