Beautiful sunrise over the city of Calgary this morning.
Just blogging about my everyday life and things that catch my eye. Lifestyle, travel and general blogger.

My September Boxycharm has arrived
This month's Boxycharm was a little later than usual, but as the company is based in Miami and Hurricane Irma put Florida into a state of chaos, I can definitely forgive this. But it was worth the wait!
Exploring Kananaskis Country Region, west of Calgary
Tuesday was another road trip day. We decided to go to Canmore, but via the most indirect route possible. We travelled along the Kananaskis Trail and the Smith Dorrien Trail amongst others.
Phil & Sebastian cafe, Calgary
Whilst we were out and about the other day we stopped off at Phil & Sebastian which is a cafe along Stephen Avenue in downtown Calgary.
Inglewood Bird Sanctuary, Calgary
This morning we decided to pay a visit to Inglewood Bird Sanctuary. We had seen quite a few photos of birds and animals taken here that we thought it was worth scoping out.
Calgary public street art installations 3rd post
I have mentioned before that there is a lot of public street art in Calgary. So far I have published two posts related to this, now for a third.
There's snow on the mountains!
When we went to Banff on Monday we had beautiful weather. It was sunny and the temps were in the high 20's. Two days later Banff had snow. This is the view of the mountains from our balcony.
Lake Minnewanka, Banff Alberta: Stunning, just doesn't begin to describe this
Whilst in Banff National Park we decided to visit Lake Minnewanka which is just north of the town of Banff. On the map, it looked like a nice lake to visit with trails etc. As it turned out it was nothing short of stunning!
A day in and around Banff National park (part 2)
After the fabulous Bow Falls Trail, we were getting hungry, so headed back into town. On the way, we spotted a really unusual fence on a property which I just had to get some photos of.
A day in and around Banff National Park, Alberta (part 1)
Well, on Monday the skies were pretty clear, not quite as crystal clear as Sunday, but much better than they had been, so off we went to Banff National Park. We were hoping that as the holiday season was over there would be fewer tourist there.
I'm really loving my new colouring book
I'm wizzing through this new colouring book. As soon as I finish one, I am on to the next. I'm going to be running out soon, at this rate!
Highwood Pass Loop through the Alberta Rocky Mountains
300km roadtrip along the Highwood Pass Loop through the Rocky Mountains
Calgary Tower, reaching new heights!
One of the biggest landmarks in Calgary is the Calgary Tower and up until now, we had only viewed it either from our apartment or from the city. Today, we got up close and personal and went to the top!
Calgary Pride: The dogs of Pride
As well as the many humans taking part in the Calgary Prime Parade, there were also lots of dogs. I couldn't resist giving them a blog post of their own.
Calgary Pride: full of spectacular colour and happy faces
Well, finally Calgary celebrated Pride. It seems a lot later than many other places, but it was certainly worth the wait.
My latest colouring book is just brilliant.
Thought I'd bring you up to date on my colouring projects of late. Because I know you really want to find out what I've been doing.
