This lion sits out front MGM Grand. The Lion mascot brings me back to staying at the MGM Grand Reno as kid on ski trips to Tahoe. With its origin in the golden age of Hollywood, the MGM Lion has a level of class that hard to find on today’s strip which mostly screams excess rather than class.

Another shot from my archives. Mt Shasta on New Year’s Day 2008.
Since my activity is currently limited while I recover from jaw surgery, I’m going through my archives and finding images that I haven’t posted before. This shot of Sacre Coure is from 2003.
Seattle puts on a great show over Lake Union to celebrate July 4th. More July 4th fireworks photos.

By chance , I happened to be in Victoria for Canada Day. Canada Day felt like a giant college football game with many of the revelers draping themselves in the Canadian flag, painting their faces or at least wearing red and white. The mood of the crowd was joyful and everyone was clearly very proud to be Canadian.
