I suppose someone out there is looking out for our collective well-being, eh? This evangelical graffiti was spotted in downtown Calgary yesterday afternoon.

Light from the setting sun reflects off the Scotiabank Saddledome, as seen during the Calgary Stampede back in July.

Distraction from the snow

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Another Tuesday … another snow day in Calgary — although this one is nowhere near as severe as the last one. Regardless, I’m trying to distract myself from the mediocre weather with thoughts of warmer, sunnier places. Amsterdam’s Museumplein in summertime will do just fine. These are from August 2014, when I passed through on my way to northern Europe.

Pine cones

This stash of pine cones will be keeping a few squirrels happy this coming winter.

Golden leaves

Looking up at the blue sky, wispy white clouds and golden leaves while on a short hike through Edworthy Park in Calgary at the end of September.

Wary critter

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

This little critter didn’t take too kindly to my interrupting whatever it was doing. After a few seconds of playing freeze, it scurried off to warn its brethren of a human in their midst. From my short wander through Calgary’s Edworthy Park in late September.

Another snap from Tuesday afternoon, from a wander I undertook during a (slight) break in the snowy weather.
