HAPPY 4th JULY to all Americans, wherever you happen to be living at the moment! A special thought to all those men and women who serve their country, either at home or overseas, and those who make sacrifices every day so that the rest of Americans can live in freedom. We, in Canada, celebrated Canada Day on 1 July.

The day before yesterday, 2 July 2013, our temperatures reached 100F. No air-conditioning at home, so I drove my car out to Maclean Pond, which was as far as the Elbow Falls Trail is open now, due to all the damage caused by the Flood of the Century that started about two weeks ago. I believe that Calgary's State of Emergency is being lifted today. After Maclean Pond, I drove around the backroads SW of Calgary, further avoiding going back to my home that was like an oven. Near one intersection, I came across several of these gorgeous horses and their foals. The youngsters looked tired out from the heat. Decided to leave all the insects in the image rather than deleting each one. You can imagine what our mosquitoes are like, with so much extra water in so many places : )
