Today, I was out in the sun early, to hopefully stake out my spot dead center in front of the Alberta Legislature for this event:

They were delayed until 12:45 so I got a bit more sun than intended.

I took 3 movies of their 3 fly-bys, which were disappointing as there were no aerobatics, no clear red and white forms, and they did not fly in line with our beautiful Legislature building....

 

 

 Below are screencaptures I worked on from the 3 movies.... again dissapointing.  Maybe I should have taken the chance on rapid-fire photos.   Too late for regreats now....  I met two other nice photographers so hopefully they will also share what they got.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.

 Happy 81st Birthday to my dear sister Yvette!  

 

As I expected, Spain is, by far, the best passing team in the World Cup.   I had hoped that France would make a game of it but Spain made them look ordinary,.. and inept.....  I assume Argentina will get past England tomorrow to set up a Spain vs Argentina final....  I would bet on Spain to win it all.   After all, Argentina is only there because of biased refereeing.

So, after that disappointing game I needed to get outside in the sunshine.  I didn't go far, taking the Gio to the Legislative Grounds and took a few shots...  

I will be back there again tomorrow as we expect our beloved Snowbirds to do a fly-past in their wonderful Tudors at 12:15 pm for the last time.....

 Hugs to everyone.  Enjoy the sun, and hope El Nino does not bake us all to a crisp this summer....

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.
