Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Calgary got a fresh dump of snow last week, as shown above, and the weather has since gone into extra-deep-freeze territory … so I doubt these chairs on 3 St. S.W. downtown will be put to good use anytime soon!

Christmas, Portland, Oregon

One of the ornaments lining the bar-seating counter at the hostel in Portland. Quickly snapped during a visit last week. (I can’t believe it was only last week!)

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

A snowy owl stuffy is perched atop one of a number of Christmas trees decorating (or is that decking?) the halls of The Core shopping centre in downtown Calgary.

Christmas, Portland, Oregon

This army of Santas was spotted last seek in a storefront just off Pioneer Courthouse Square in Portland, Oregon. I haven’t yet decided whether this display is adorable or mildly frightening. 🤣
