Twice in One Year!
Since BC is celebrating it's 150th year we have been treated to the Snowbirds twice in the last couple of months. Of course they train out of Moose Jaw so I feel as though I own them. I grew up watching them practice overhead and I have never lost the thrill of seeing them with their signature red and white colours spiral and dance in the heavens above.
Unfortunately my shots of the snowbirds too often end up looking like this:
The best shot I got was this.
I took those two pictures in August and yesterday I took these. Yesterday they were flying over the ocean and did all their death defying tricks whereas in August they had special permission to fly lower over the Inner Harbour and right over the crowds but they played it safer. Both shows were special in their own way. 
The wax museum puts up a different sign every single day of the year. I often their signs but as yet the sign has not been enough of a draw to make me actually go inside. Somehow visiting a wax museum seems like the kind of thing one days when travelling but not when one is at home. Kind of like parades. 
Hope everyone is having a good start to their week.

You are so right, I would never dream of going to a wax museum if I was not traveling.
Those are rather impressive shots you have of the snowbirds though
i always thought of going to a wax museum to be equivalent to going to a funeral home and looking at the waxy dead people in the coffins
Barbara, I remember being in Philadelphia and was walking by the Liberty Bell. It's free and I saw a security guard and asked him if it was worthwhile. He said he didn't know he'd never gone in. I was kind of shocked by that since he works there and thought he must be knew so I asked him how long he'd been working there and he said, "28 years!"
Kelly, I went to one once when I was quite young and I just remember thinking the whole thing boring. I would have much rather been riding a roller coaster or something.
I especially like the first one. :)
I've never been a huge fan of military aggrandizing - parades, tattoos, air shows, that sort of thing,
but the Snowbirds are spectacular to watch.
Gifted typist, I don't like air shows even though growing up I had to attend the one in Moose Jaw every year but I still like the Snowbirds. I think it's a pride thing.
