On July 1st we were at Cape Bonavista with it's famous red and white lighthouse complex - the perfect spot to celebrate Canada Day. In the morning the girls had a picnic. They brought flags and balloons, and Lonnie brought the most Canadian of all - a box of Tim Horton's donuts....
In the evening they wanted to have a parade, but the wind had gotten so fierce
they could barely stand upright, let alone hold up a flag.
they could barely stand upright, let alone hold up a flag.
I had to take a lot of photos in order to get one that even partially showed the maple leaf on the flag - they were whipping in the wind so much. Balloons had to be weighted down by some rocks or they'd have disappeared in a moment and danced out to sea. I found that as long as the wind was blowing towards my intended background, I could at least pose the girls looking into the wind towards me, and no matter how wind-swept their hair became, I could still see their little faces. Which is why so many of the trip pictures are "smile and look at the camera" type photos.
