Cowboy it up!

Just under two months until this year’s edition of the Calgary Stampede, which runs July 5 to 14, 2013.
The Stampede announced last week Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, who’s due to return from space tonight, would be the Stampede parade marshal.

Imminent danger

Upon snapping a series of frames to get this shot, I immediately regretted not doing a video instead.
As much as you can see this motorized R2D2 was being threatened by a lightsabre-wielding Jedi, this photo could not capture the frantic, panicked beeping of a robot facing imminent danger.
Captured at Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo this past weekend.

Vancouver: City of cherry blossoms

This is a sure sign of spring in Vancouver: The city’s many cherry trees are in full bloom, give the place splashes of bright pink here and there.
