I've never forgotten memorizing this in school although the real meaning probably eluded me at the time.

In Flanders Fields read by Leonard Cohen

Today is 20C or 68F. This was taken by me in 2019 at the Remembrance Day ceremonies. 

TORONTO ON

Found this World War I memorial outside Little Trinity Anglican Church.

At City Hall, Toronto.

This large, bronze monument, called Peace Through Valour, commemorates the more than 93,000 Canadian soldiers who took part in the Italian campaign of the Second World War. The work was created by internationally known Canadian artist Ken Lum.

We'll take a road trip this round.

VIRGINVILLE PA bonus points for license plate starting with V.

The origin of the name Virginville is obscure. Some say it is the English translation of a Native American word, while others believe the community was named for virgin forests in the area. However, the leading theory is that the name is derived after your maternal figure. "Virgin" may be an alternate translation of the Indian-named Maiden Creek, which runs through the town and also meets up with Sacony Creek.

Prague  Czech Republic

Click here for our morning in Prague and more of the clock.



The Prague Astronomical Clock is a medieval astronomical clock that was first installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still operating.

Some suggestions from Becky.
Here are some timely thoughts to help get us on our way, and hopefully avoid any of us burning the midnight oil next month;
A stitch in time saves nine
Early bird catches the worm
In the nick of time
More haste, less speed
Time and tide wait for no man (or woman!)

In The Pink

September Squares Theme In the Pink #InThePink

Some thoughts from the host:
‘In the Pink’ – means perfect condition or in good health, so that could be human or not!
‘Tickled Pink‘ – means delighted, so I’m thinking happy, fun and of course delighted. That could be you or the subject of your photograph.
Pink – anything that is coloured pink but don’t worry if it isn’t pink!
And the extra challenge for those of you up for it – can you manage to combine all three like I did last Saturday?The only thing you must ensure is that your main photograph is square, and don’t forget to pingback to one of my posts with the tag#InthePink.

Prague Czech Republic

I'd like to do a sightseeing tour in this car.

May 2012 - Prague

Standing guard at Prague Castle.

The Prague Castle Guard or simply the Castle Guard is a specific and autonomous unit of the Armed Forces of the Czech Republic directly subordinate to the Military Office of the President of the Czech Republic. Its main task is to guard and defend the seat of the President of the Czech Republic at the Prague Castle. During the period 1939 to 1945 its duties were performed by the 1st Battalion of the Government Army.
