Colour scheme

It appears as if this flower knew the right place to bloom, helping to create this funky colour-appropriate juxtaposition. Seen in Calgary a few days ago.

Peace at sunset

Sunset really is the golden hour.
This is the north edge of downtown Calgary, the Peace Bridge and the Bow River in the foreground and a descending sun reflected in the skyscrapers, all as seen a few days ago.

Fun with fruits and vegetables

Looking to Golden Gate

Another view of San Francisco’s signature Golden Gate Bridge, seen from the Coit Tower on my visit there this past autumn.

Panda dressed up … but nowhere to go

Now that’s a well-dressed panda. Spotted in Portland, Oregon, back in the spring.

Work is a four-letter word

Today is “hump day” for most people, so this photo seemed entirely appropriate! Found this sticker in Seattle back in April.

Rooftop commuting

A wonderful piece of public art on the roof of River City Bicycle in Portland, Oregon. Snapped this photo back in the spring.

Calgary spent much of last week blanketed by smoke from nearby forest fires. It made for a few dreary scenes, such as the one above.
