Full Moon Fireworks on Canada Day | By DP Photography

These photos  have not been edited by me, I did however add the copyright and his initials. He does deserve the credit. I’m very proud of you DP.

So many Canadians in the streets watching the festivities over one of the most beautiful, natural settings our earth has to offer.

Sardinian cork oak grows in abundance in the northwestern part of the island. The forests are large and breathtaking. The capital of cork in Sardinia is a small mountain town called Calangianus in the province of Olbia-Tempio.

These cork planks will be used to create some fascinating items like: kitchen utensils, serving trays, containers, insulation, spice stands and various souvenirs like: purses, notebooks and postcards.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Friendship

My friendship with blue hair, gigantic beer and the Buffalo Bills stems from my desire to be enveloped in a stadium filled with energetic people screaming, chanting and otherwise being slightly obnoxious.

I really couldn’t care less about the game, and I wear my band-wagon colours with pride.
