We Stand on Guard for Thee

The following are all shots of fireworks. All fireworks were shot from the Macdonald Cartier Bridge here, using a 50mm prime lens, which I soon learned was too long for the job. Even the kit lens (18-55mm) would have been better 
Unexploded

A boy, on his father's shoulders, takes a photo.
Pont Alexandra; Alexandra Bridge connecting Ontario and Quebec
Look at the curves on this thing!

Where does the yellow line lead you?
I really would've liked to have no other people in this photo, but unfortunately that's not possible on July 1st.
A mother carries her daughter in Parc Jacques-Cartier in Gatineau, QC.
A family in Gatineau.
As I am uploading this, this picture is looking crappier and crappier. Nothing special about it... 
What are you lookin' at?
Red Flower Girl squinting in the sun!
This is some VERY nice bokeh for the 70-300 lens, considering that it's not even stopped all the way down.
The Canadian Air Force's show!
The Flying Canucks.
This guy is a three-time Olympic snowboarder.
Woman waiting for concert.
I loved the colors on her dress. Wonder what she is thinking...
Very Canadian.
A mother wears three flags in her hair bun!
Topless in the sun! 
True Canadian love!
White guy, brown girl. And 70-300 lens's crappy image quality.
A girl looks at the concert (featuring Shania Twain among others)
Flag Waving
K'Naan, a Somalian-Canadian hip-hop artist, got the crowd to wave flags.
Unfortunately I couldn't get the shot I wanted because the 70-300 focuses SLOW as heck.

Flowers in the Backyard
Posted on Saturday June 13, 2009 at 7:38 PM
The last two shots in the Backyard series; this is a picture of some flowers in the backyard.
Although the theme to the picture was supposed to be 'weeds', and it was supposed to show the beauty in their (uncontrolled) natural growth, there was no way I was gonna give up taking a photo of these flowers!
I don't know the name of the flower in the first photo, but the second is of bleeding heart (see Wikipedia entry).
