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.

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.

This very Canadian-themed little library is installed at ContainR by Springboard Performance in Calgary’s Sunnyside neighbourhood. The man behind the  Little Free Library, Todd Bol of Minnesota, recently died at the age of 62.
