We have several Hibiscus shrubs in our back yard and it always is impressive to see a few flowers bloom one day, followed the next day by an explosion of about 500 blooming. The honey bees just love this plant.

Beautiful flowers, Thailazer and tc.
Spent a few days in a place called Kingston. It used to be the capital of Canada before Ottawa. Lovely day and place.
Took a ferry to Wolfe Island. You can walk onto it, drive or take your bike.

Cheers MM.
Hope you're well and enjoying the holidays!
It was 35oC and the water was lovely.
Might check it out in Winter to see the difference.
It's at the point where Staffordshire, Cheshire and Derbyshire meet.
An old smugglers route.
Been taking loads of pics over the holidays, a load of threads in the pipeline when I get a chance.
^That's amazing! I am doing well, too. I added some new pics to my thread on the Traveller's tales. 35 is very warm as well!
Beautiful! I believe this is in Michigan? I was checking it on google to see where it is located. Very warm temps as well.

This is the famous downtown Byward Market area of Ottawa, from the 10th floor of an apt. building. You can see parliament in the distance and to the left of it is Chateau Laurier Hotel, to the right of parliament buildings is the American Embassy. Speaking of which.. watched an International fireworks show (America) from this balcony. I took a video of the finale which is shared below.

I tacked on the video if anyone is interested. The views from my friend's balcony of the market and the fireworks in the distance coming out of Hull, Quebec.

Moved this to Edith's imgur folder the next day and seems it broke the link.
Last thing Lu did when in charge was have the images change to TD hosted within an hour, as to stop people doing a Mao and deleting all their pics in a big foot-stomping, dress-twirling hissyfit. :)
What did you do to the system Big Dave? :)
I can still see it.
