2009Victoria Day
Yesterday was a holiday for Canadian’s (Victoria Day) complete with store closings, days off work, and fireworks! Quite the exciting surprise for me! I wonder how it would feel if an entire country celebrated your birthday? Strange, I’d imagine.
Tom and I went to the park (maybe some of you remember the delightful walk Tom and I took last month, where I saw a beaver for the first time- this is that same park) and had a little picnic in the sun.
Speaking of remembering things. Perhaps some of you remember the suspension bridge I was hesitant about, spanning the river? (I guess this depends on if you read my LJ or blog.) You do? Well, great, because it broke.
It appears that the actual bridge itself is completely fine, but on one of our recent blustery days, it whipped so hard that the frame cracked.
I must admit I’m a little disappointed because Tom tells me they may not fix it at all, but simply take it down. I thought it was a fantastic addition to the park and I’ll be sad to see it go, if that’s the case.
In other news, our neighborhood smells of lilacs and it leaks into our room thanks to our lovely window fan. It reminds me of my mother’s back yard, which in turn makes me a tiny bit homesick. I miss the pear blossoms.

I literally laughed out loud at the suspension bridge thing. xD Only because you said you were nervous about it earlier. That sucks that they may not fix it…wouldn’t that limit access within the park?
Beauuuutiful photos as always! <3

Aww, that is so sad that the bridge broke.
The light and color in your pictures are always so amazing. I’m always so jealous. :p

Hoooolyyyy shit! That’s insane. I wouldn’t go near that thing whether it was cracked or in perfect working condition, but still, they shouldn’t just get rid of it!
Sara
I really, really hope they don’t just get rid of it. It made the park really awesome. =)
Sara
I know, right?! It would limit access, terribly! Now you can’t reach the other side of the river! So basically, Tom and I would have to drive to the park instead of walking. =(
