Early signs of fall

Shades of yellow and orange tinting our deciduous trees … including this one at Calgary’s Confederation Park.

It’s good to have choices. 🙂
EDIT: Looking at this post again, it’s really FOUR methods of transportation: Cyclists are so ubiquitous in Amsterdam, I literally didn’t notice them in the top photo!

Line No. 7

Mobile home of sorts

Horse and buggy

Captured these images almost a year ago now.

Wall of tears

Spotted this alongside a parking lot behind St. Mary’s Cathedral Basilica in Halifax, Nova Scotia, when I visited briefly back in the spring.

Spotted this cute bicycle ornament in Calgary’s Kensington area earlier this summer.

Clear choice

A lot of signs like this one are popping up all over Calgary.
Most of them are outside pubs, announcing “Beer” and “Not beer” … so this one was a little refreshing when I came across it.
