Happy Persian New Year!

Today is the first day of spring and Persian New Year.
This is my 7 Sîn! You may probably remember my last year's.
You can read about this Iranian tradition here in Wikipedia.

I bought these flowers from the supermarket today.
I hadn't seen such flowers before. They look so exotic.

Do you know their name? I promised you to take some good photos of Fire Festival in Toronto.
But it was very dark and I didn't have a tripod so these are the best
photos that I could take...
Blurry...but shows the fireworks. It was very crowded and I couldn't go
and take photos of the dancers and the performance.
More fireworks!
I wish you a very lovely spring and Persian New Year!
