Well here’s something I didn’t expect to see at the shopping mall a few days ago … a giant artificial polar bear, presumably part of a Christmas-themed display.

I meant to post this in time for Halloween … but it totally escaped my mind until I found the file sitting on my SD card. Spotted this alien and his/her abductee in the window of the Plaza Theatre in Calgary not too long ago.

Poor William and Kate! I burst out laughing when I came across this heavy price cut at a souvenir shop in London in May, not long after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War. In Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the U.K., the poppy has become the symbol of remembrance of fallen soldiers in all wars. The poppy was first used in this way by the American Legion, inspired by the poem In Flanders Fields by Canadian Lt.-Col John McCrae. The poppies in the photo above were spotted in bloom at Riley Park in Calgary, back in August.
