Some new material to post .....

Hello everyone, yes, its been a while since I posted images on here but then , I HAVE been busy taking images as well :-) 

Let me start with one I shot several years ago . this image is one of the late Jack Layton. While i am not a supporter of his political party , i though this was a good image of him :


The next image is from a recent race held in Toronto. While most runners well, ran the race, i have always been impressed with the wheelchair athletes. She was also one of the top finishers in this race.  These athletes remind me that ABILITY  is what they have. So people, don't dis their ABILITIES :


Recently, I had a chance to attend the Liberal leadership convention here in Toronto. I do however, take no  credit for getting in as I was able to get in only as a result of a good friend of mine who personally knew of of the leading candidates. Here Is Joyce Murray :





Being from Quebec, I have many memories  of Prime Minister Trudeau . i am delighted that his Justin has decided to follow in the foot steps of his father and I have no doubt that he will be out Prime Minister one day, soon perhaps. Just watch him :-)  







Lastly for today, I am posting some Images of the visit by Prince Philip . The Prince has here in Toronto to present a military regiment with their regimental colors . many years, when I served with out military, I had the honor of being on a color guard for a royal visit by Princess Diana . that was way back in the early 1980's . While i am obviously not in the military any longer, i still have a great attachment to the service of my country and those who serve today. I can only imagine the sheer joy these honorable service persons had on this day to have their regimental colors presented to them by none other that the Prince himself. To all who served, and serve today, THANK YOU :
