Continuing with Canadian Provinces: Prince Edwards Island. One of three Maritime provinces. It is the smallest province, but the most densely populated. It is named after Queen Victoria’s father, Prince Edward. The First Nation people who ‘owned’ the island were the Mi’Kmaq. In their language they called it ‘Land cradled by the Waves.’ When the…

Another Canadian Province on this cloudy day in St Clair Shores. It does have a maritime feel to it: Newfoundland. It is the eastern most Canadian province. It is my favorite province. I have visited Newfoundland 3 times and went through the ‘ceremony’ to become an honorary ‘Newfie’. (You must drink at least one swallow…

Continuing with the Canadian theme on this rainy day in St Clair Shores Michigan: The Flag of British Columbia, the western most province. (Proper flag etiquette says you should not leave a flag out in bad weather – so, I take mine down in rain). British Columbia is the 3rd most populous province in Canada.…

The familiar flag of our neighbors to the north: Canada. Since we have come home to Michigan after leaving in 1972, Canada once again is close to us. The flag is a red field with a white square in the middle. Exactly in the middle of the white square is an 11 point red maple…

A fun fiction flag: The Vulcan Flag. The most recognized Vulcan being: Mr. Spock. Being an old Star Trek traveler, and since Spock was my favorite I needed to have the Vulcan Flag. It is a hard one to find so I mentioned to my dear Chinese daughter Chen that I couldn’t find it and…

In our 26 years in Colorado, we loved every moment we could spend in our neighbor to the North, Wyoming. In addition to the natural beauty of the land, it has always been a progressive place. The flag is a good flag, not fantastic because of the addition of the state seal. If it were…

I now have a regular group, including our trusty mailman, who walk by our house just to see what flag I have flying. A few months ago I put up a little sign that I change daily answering the question: ‘What Flag Is That?’ Todays flag: Tibet. The flag from a Vexillological standpoint, is rather…

Look for new subjects in our new location.

Ten years ago we took our grandkids to the Colorado Renaissance Festival. My good friend, Greg, had graciously given me his old D70 Nikon camera. It was the first ‘real’ camera I ever owned. It was an excellent piece of digital equipment. I started experimenting with settings right away. Now I could take hundreds of…
