Things went by so fast this week that some seem fuzzy in memory and some are definitely fishy. It's that time of year when the sunrises are spectacular and in vivid focus. But the Closing Ceremony of the Rio Olympics came and went with only out-of-focus photos as mementos of Canada's better-than-expected results.
Then a quick three days in Toronto to focus on re-energizing with some urban buzz. Movie and TV shoots are all over town. The iconic ferry to the Islands is a relief from the heat. Quiet strolls and silent canoes, all car-free and within sight of the skyline. And in the meantime the Canadian Olympic medalists returned to adoring crowds.
Over to our Beach place to tidy up, and arrange painting both inside and out. We won't be there when it happens, so a Before Picture to replace the fuzzy memory of what was. Walking in the park is a reminder of the majority group --- dogs and babies!
When Cirque du Soleil is in town it's a must-see. The new show is a jaw-dropping eye-popping best yet. Amazing colours and creativity combined with impossible physical feats. Luzia is a tribute to Mexican culture and folklore --- including our besties the monarch butterflies. Acrobats, contortionists, comedy, and optical illusions. Sold out and full of international visitors sharing the universal language of wonder. But so fast and often in dim light that the pictures are --- fuzzy. Sorry.
Back home the annual Salmon Spectacular fishing derby is on. A huge event of fishing and family fun with hundreds of sponsors, thousands in prizes, and a tonne of fish. These first-day leaders were quickly overtaken by bigger salmon/trout later that same day! Pat caught her salmon at a secret spot just down the road.
As for me, I'm fishing for Barracuda. A nice size red one...
