MosaiCanada 150

I kind of got derailed about posting about Hawaii, but I will get back to it!  In the meantime, here are some photos of the MosaiCanada topiary displays that are in Parc Jacques-Cartier this summer.

Ed got to learn about a lot of sterotypical Canadian iconography on this outing.  Here he is with the Mountie, representing Saskatchewan:


The lobster fisherman, Nova Scotia:


The muskoxen (my favourites!) represent the Northwest Territories, and the inukshuk is for the northern lights (which are pictured on the other side so you can't see them from this angle):


The drum dancer is for Nunavut, and the polar bear behind him is for Manitoba:


The dragons are for Beijing, I guess they get an honourable mention on Canada's 150th, so we can't be accused of being too parochial.


The voyageur:


Bison grazing:


And a couple of Mother Earth:



I really liked this event, it was my favourite of the Canada's 150th birthday celebrations.
