It's July 1st, and you know what that means: Happy Canada Day!

(Cross-posted from my site, where there are additional photos: andrewflenniken.com/2025/07/01)

I was born, and mostly grew up, in the province of New Brunswick, which is where these photos were taken.  Autumn there is stunningly beautiful, with the maples changing to brilliant reds, oranges, and yellows.  My love for the season, and for backlit leaves generally, has its source in those woods.  And today gives me an out of season reason to share both.  ;)

Canada’s Flag Takes Flight: The Maple Leaf Rises 🍁

On February 15, 1965, Canada officially adopted its now-iconic red-and-white Maple Leaf flag. The new design, created by George F. G. Stanley and John Matheson, was chosen to better represent Canada’s distinct identity. Today, National Flag of Canada Day celebrates this powerful symbol of unity and pride! 🇨🇦 #MapleLeaf #Canada #FlagDay #NationalPride
