Bathroom humour, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Sometimes, bathroom humour is just fine. This sign was spotted in Calgary a few months ago.

Partway there, Vancouver, B.C., Canada

I love looking for random photo-ops between flights. Here is something from Vancouver International Airport back in December.

Flying goat, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Only upon editing this photo did I realize this setting focused on a flying goat in the window of a Calgary toy store is even more whimsical than I first thought. (Do you see the floral emissions?)

Sunday sailing, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Not from today, but on a random Sunday back in 2015 from the shore of the Glenmore Reservoir, just on the edge of Heritage Park.

City view

From last fall, a rewarding view of downtown Calgary from the upper section of Edworthy Park in Wildwood. I could have got there the easy way, by driving over and parking in the lot by the dog run. Instead, I took the bus to the Parkdale side of the park for a nice afternoon urban hike.
