🇨🇦 Parting shot: Oh, Canada!

Copy editor Amy Stern captured Stratford, Ontario's Avon River at dusk on July 8. In the summer it stays light there until 9:30 p.m.
Amy writes from Canada: It's been 8 years since I've been back in my beloved Stratford, home of the Stratford Festival.
🎭 I first came in 2000 as part of my quest to see all 38 of Shakespeare's plays performed.
I have long since reached that goal, thanks also to the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, D.C.
During more than 15 visits to Stratford, I've gotten to see one of the best repertory acting companies in North America.
And I met my Ballantyne Ave. friends, who put up with my constant refrain: HE'S Canadian? (Neil Young), SHE'S Canadian? (Joni Mitchell).
❤️ Stratford will always have my heart. The Bard drew me here; my friends keep me coming back.
