Happy Canada Day!

Last week Dad's nursing home came over to the Halifax Public Gardens.

Many of the residents like my Father are in wheelchairs; the home has a large group of volunteers who help during these outings.

After the picnic lunch everyone takes a stroll around the gardens.

The Mute Swan is a favourite, (s)he is alone now the mate died a last year.

The highlight though was a group of Mounties in their red serge. They would have been in town rehearsing for the Tattoo, which begins today.

The fence on the brook is part of the swan enclosure.

People came running from all over to take photos or have their picture taken with the group.

This fountain is part of the new side entrance and is dedicated those who helped in restoration of the gardens after Hurricane Juan.
