Like many of my fellow bloggers, I recently took some fireworks photos. This is in Bronte on Canada Day. Funny, many of the images I took remind me of flowers!

This old wall advertising or Ghost Sign - 'Oakville Hardware phone 290' and 'Buckingham Cigarettes' is an image I took several years ago. The brick has since been covered by siding.

Gairloch Inukshuk

Inuksuit (plural of Inukshuk) are man made stone landmarks originating with the peoples of the North American Arctic Region. The word means "in the likeness of a human" in the Inuit language. They are used as navigational aids, memorial markers for a loved one, or to indicate migration routes or places where fish may be found. Today they are used as a Canadian symbol. I came across this one recently at Gairloch Gardens in Oakville.
