Shot this a year ago, but it's appropriate today. This weekend's a big patriotic celebration in both countries. Shot at Port Huron, Michigan; the flags are in Sarnia, Ontario, with a similar pair on the US side.

South Haven's Old Harbor Inn is really just too picturesque for words; you've really got to see the place to believe. But our room was undeniably comfortable, had a wonderful view, and is within an easy walk of the beach. Pricing is good, too. What's not to like? The hotel's restaurant, York's Landing, is at the end of this pretty little lane of shops (they call it Old Harbor Village). Our room was up the stairs from the upper walkway on the right.

It's late afternoon at the base of Lake Huron and the sailboats are returning to the marinas. Sarnia's Flag Plaza, shot from Port Huron's. We spend yesterday watching the boats, watching the people, watching the birds, and enjoying the glorious weather. We also found our way to the Fort Gratiot Light, where it turns out there's a marvelous beach; we may well plan our next visit around that knowledge. It's a holiday weekend in both towns, as Canada Day celebrates the creation of the Dominion on July 1 in ways which resemble Independence Day on the American side.
