Creative shots for tonight's Stampede Fireworks show. Played with Live Comp and Bulb modes.

My Best and favourite shot from tonight's Calgary Stampede Fireworks show. As shot from the 27th-floor balcony. #CalgaryStampede #StampedeFireworks

When waiting at the target location and storms to get their shit together, there’s always time for Bird photography. Pictured here is a female Brewers Blackbird.

Our storm chase yesterday covered a lot of ground and produced these two. Ghost Pine and Wimborne storms. Was a very fun day.

First time photographing fireworks, and turned out not too shabby. Stampede Fireworks from the balcony on the 27th floor. #yyc #CalgaryStampede

Was up early this morning and managed to capture this — love how the wildfire smoke adds a cool orangey-red hue to the full moon. Nature’s own colour filter. #Astronomy

Morning shot, including pano from the balcony to start your weekend. Have a great one! #yyc #CanadianRockies

That’s a wrap. Our chapter in this book ends and now we pass this torch to a new couple. It’s bittersweet closing this door, but we couldn’t be more excited about what’s waiting on the other side. New home, new memories, new chapter. Let’s go!

First night in our temporary home. Computer is not setup yet so the first Moon images from this place are not ready yet. Cheers.

Our view from the balcony of our temporary home. Decided to check it out today before we move into it in a few days.

Happy Father’s Day! Can’t wait to dig into my new cookware set when we move into our new home. Thanks to the beautiful and amazing @beth.bsky.social Woohoo! Induction will be a new skill set just coming off gas cooking.

Tonight’s moon from the balcony for what might be the last time in this condo. Soon we will be in a temporary home for almost a month until we can finally take possession of our new home in late July. Enjoy! #Moon #Astronomy

More progress today. Looking pretty awesome with the colour scheme. #yyc

Another retrofit of office conversion to rental units here in downtown #yyc along 11th Ave SW. Loving the paint job. 🎨

Excited to see storm season kicking off. Can’t wait to get back on the road again, in between moving out of our condo and into a new home in South Calgary. So much to do and so little time. 😁

Tonight’s sunset from the balcony. #yyc

Manitoba wants YOUR vote! 🌲 Choose from 5 designs for a new provincial parks licence plate — and a portion of every plate sold goes to the Manitoba Provincial Park Endowment Fund. Pick your favourite at engagemb.ca before July 31!

I warned my parents and brother a half hour ago about them being in the affected area for warnings. ECCC just issued the warnings. #MBStorm

Here comes the rain again..🎶 Hey Calgary! Are you ready for some precip?

When you can’t be at the stadium to cheer on your Blue Bombers because you were house hunting, TV and a hot dinner is a good second place. #GOBOMBERS #CFL

Alberta’s been under a soaking multi-day rain event since Saturday evening. Environment Canada reports 40–110 mm fallen province-wide, with another 20–50 mm on the way before things ease Tuesday. Storm totals could reach 150 mm locally.

Calgary’s getting double-teamed. Upslope flow pushes moisture into the Rockies, orographic lift like measure, squeezes it out, and a stalled low keeps the whole cycle going. 50–100mm on the way. ☔ Keep those rubber boots, gumboots or wellies handy. 😝

Radar showing a significant line of convection draped right over central Alberta this morning and it will hang around for some time. In other words, it’s moist out there! 🤣

Another view of the incredible sunset from last evening. #yyc #Sunset

Tonight’s sunset from the balcony here in #yyc

View like this are now numbered. We have buyers for our condo so now the house hunting continues. The two brightest objects are Jupiter(left) and Venus.(Right).

Hooked on The Gold River Project — a Canadian indie gem from Vancouver’s Fairview Games! Open-world survival set in the Pacific Northwest. Rough edges (Early Access since Jan 23), but the bones are incredible. Solo or co-op. Support Canadian devs! 🍁🏕️🇨🇦🎮

How can you tell it’s May Long!! Woohoo. 🤣

Wildfire season in Alberta. As devastating as it is, it does yield the most beautiful sunsets. #WildfireSeason #Alberta

View this morning of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. 🏔️

Another fantabulous sunset Calgary! #yyc

To every mom who stayed up late, showed up early, and loved without limits — today is yours. You shaped who we are in ways we’re still discovering. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, stepmoms, grandmoms, and mother figures who make the world warmer. 💐 You Rock!

Busy day in the books — vehicle maintenance, house hunting with our Realtor, and now winding down with some seriously good BBQ at @prairiedogbeer here in YYC. This is the reward we needed. 🍖🔥 #Calgary #yyc

Successful first sleep with the new pillow. I love that it pulls just enough heat from my head to keep me comfortable. From Black Sheep Mattress Company — designed and crafted here in Calgary, AB using natural latex, cotton, and wool. Responsibly sourced, beautifully made, & genuinely comfortable.

Been a while since I’ve been to Canadian Tire! Wow — great selection of HBC merch! Ever since they acquired the brand in spring 2025, keeping that stuff in Canada! 🇨🇦 😁

Sunset tonight.

Sunset evening in Calgary! 🤩 #yyc #photography

Spent Saturday at Foothills Medical Centre after an ECG had my doctor concerned. An anomaly showed up in the lower portion of my heart. Blood tests came back clear — no heart attack or muscle damage. Peak health for my age. Huge thanks to the team at Foothills. Canadian healthcare at its best.

When we started Gander, we wanted it to reflect Canadian values. We got a lot of (valuable) pushback: what are Canadian values anyway? The Charter already had this sorted out. Today marks 44 years since it was signed into law. Now, it's the heart of our guidelines: gandersocial.ca/blog/communi...

The Royal Canadian Mint dropped a new $2 coin celebrating the CN Tower’s 50th anniversary — and it glows in the dark! 🗼✨ The colourized version reveals the CN Tower and Toronto skyline illuminated at night. It’s only the second 🇨🇦 circulation coin ever to feature this glow-in-the-dark innovation.

Enjoying an incredible evening here in #yyc.

A few more images from our Harbour Air De Havilland DHC-3 Otter flight to YVR from Tofino the other day. Canada’s Rocky Mountains in all its spectacular beauty.

Both @adolwyn and I gifted our Air Canada flight crew Starbucks cards again — a small thank-you for their energy and hard work. They were genuinely delighted. One kindly offered me a free gin and tonic, which I declined — it was our gift to them, no strings attached.

Turns out treating your Air Canada flight attendants with kindness — gift cards, genuine thank-yous — gets you extra snacks and a whole lot of joy on both sides. Take notes, Karens. 😝

Reached our gate and a quick double check of my gear before boarding. Woohoo!! #TofinoAdventure

Snow all you want Calgary. My flight leaves tomorrow to a snow free destination! Woohoo. 🖕

Someone must have been stocking up for the long weekend! 🤣 2:10pm

Can you believe it’s April 2nd in Calgary? 🤷‍♂️

Tonight’s Moon from the Balcony.

That starting rotation for the 2026 season is a batters nightmare. That’s a lot of power to begin the season. 💪🇨🇦⚾️
