Canada 150




Happy First of July and Canada Day, celebrating 150 years!  I did this unfurled flag piece on red cardstock (6" x 6") in acrylic outlined with a fine point black marker.
 
I saw this neat planting in a shopping centre parking lot:



And husband M celebrates a birthday today on Canada Day! Daughter L got him this pretty cake:





L made these salted chocolate chip tahini cookies for us and they are beyond delicious. Here is the recipe.

Happy 150th!!! Wow, hard to believe that Expo 67 was 50 years ago, I remember that year from when I was a kid. A lot of celebrations that year.

Loved your painting!!!

Our little town just celebrated its 150th year in existence; now I can connect remembering that with Canada!
Sounds like your husband had a good birthday.
