			Some scenes from Friday's 106th Annual Millarville Races . . . . . 
 
The wild and woolly, mud-in-your-eye, no-holds-barred, Stock Horse Race, the one that started it all in 1905, pitting acreage owners, ranchers and farmers against each other for bragging rights and their name on a storied trophy, where the ladies frequently win but, in this case, the guy in the lead pulled it out over the woman on the right. . . . 
 
   
 
Thoroughbred action from the ground floor . . . . I love laying beside the track for shots like this . . . .
 
  
 
Big crowd, lots of action . . . .
 
  
 
Including faceplants in the three-legged races . . . .
 
  
 
Others at  www.goldentales.ca/millarvilleblog2011.htm if you're interested.

			happy Canada day everyone!!!! 
my wife and i were in penticton this evening - taking in 'cirque du soleil'.  after the show we headed to go watch the fireworks.  
 
 I was pretty impressed… I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect since penticton is quite a bit smaller than kelowna.
    
  the thing that blew me away is they shot all the fireworks off on a beach… not a barge on the lake like in kelowna… and these things are literally blowing up right over you - had I known this, I would have used a different lens, but once the show started I just rolled with what I had on my camera
 
cheers

			An abstracted (and very different angle than SebC's image) shot of the fireworks being lit from the Municipal building. 
I like how it almost looks like the building is on fire.
