Oh, Canada!

Being that tomorrow is Canada Day and that this is the first Canada Day Sean has spent in Australia (we have been back in Vancouver each since he moved here) , I am going to honour all Canucks with these little Canadian tidbits.

  • There are more donuts per capita in Canada then anywhere else on earth.
  • 0.3% of all vehicle accidents in Canada involve a moose.
  • Alberta has been rat-free since 1905
  • There are 23 different words in the Inuit language for “snow” - How beautiful is that?
  • Canada invented the chocolate bar, washing machines, zippers and roller skates!
  • Canada has funny place names such as Manyberries, Skookumchuck, Cardigan, Moose Jaw and Pocahontas.
  • They call their money loonies and toonies and a beanie is a toque- pronounced “tOOk” as in “spook”.

Comments Working

I think I fixed them!
Comment away kids.
Weekend is here and i am loving these this week:

  • windsweeping- its not often that you find a really good writer, she is fabulous.
  • Theodora Allen - the type of photographer I wish I was.
  • Style Me Pretty - I’ve always adored this pretty blog, not sure why I haven’t linked it before. I like it mainly for the photography.
  • Melissa - Melissa is one of my favourite flickrites and she now has a blog. She also has damn good taste in music.

All photographs copyright to the respective photographers as linked above. Top left corner: Melissa; top right: Windsweeping; bottom left: Theodora and bottom right: Leigh Miller on Style Me Pretty.

Straumnes

with a buzz in our ears we play endlessly…

there is an almost buzz, more a humm, dotted candle lights hanging from tree branches, bouncing in the breeze.

and water rushes…

Floating…
