Canadian Travel Highlights - Vancouver, Calgary, Black Diamond

Vancouver, 2 weeks ago


the coast near Stanley Park

it is spring time and everyone is happy the sun is out and making the most of it.  here is my friend Andi who I visited in Vancouver.


a public artwork? in the colourful part of town, i like this

 

and i like the dog leash holding station outside the coffee shop.


Andi and me in Vancouver near Granville Island



Calgary, last week


Lindsay, Gord, Anthony and Jonathan, old friends i stayed with


a new public artwork in the city, and Jonathan running around it (he likes running a lot)

the sculpture is in front of a fancy new building in Calgary


Lindsay and me near the bow river (where the foods happened last year around the same time)


Lindsay and I in front of a fancy new pedestrian bridge in Calgary called the peace bridge


some Canadian geese and their babies in the bow river


walking over the bow river across the peace bridge with Lindsay


I also had the chance to catch up with an old friend Marcia in Calgary, it was nice to see her again it has been too long.


Black Diamond, a week ago


heading off on a hike in the foothills with Tyler and Julia


Tyler is looking for moose on the next hill with binoculars, Julia and Molly checking out the scenery

it is beautiful here
