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. 💪🇨🇦⚾️

Sad news. Chuck Norris, martial artist and action icon, has passed away at 86. Just 10 days ago he posted a video sparring on his birthday — pure toughness to the end. The memes live forever, but so does the man behind them. Rest easy, Chuck. 💪

Glad this super stressful work day is in the past. Looking forward to my Friday tomorrow. 👍

Sometimes, you go to the storms and sometimes, the storms go to you! 😝

For those curious what was behind the shelf cloud, it was this!!

Good morning and Happy International Women’s Day! The surprise of the morning, other than the time change hangover was this shelf cloud, bringing with it, rain, freezing rain and ice pellets. Free car wash and scrub. 😁

It’s cold, so I’m warming up for hopefully a great storm chase season this year. #ShareYourWeather

First Quarter Moon. My focus bracket experiment ends tonight and I am so pleased with the results. #Astronomy

Goodnight from the balcony 🌙 Almost first quarter tonight — couldn't resist grabbing the OM-1 Mark II and experimenting with a 7-shot focus bracket to pull out some of that crater detail. Sweet dreams everyone. ✨ #Astronomy

Look up tonight! 🌙 We've got a waxing crescent moon — 30% lit and getting brighter every night. First Quarter is just two days away. Who else is a sucker for a good moon sighting? 👀 #Astronomy #WaxingCrescent #NightSky

If you look at the 11:30 position from the top of the building you can see the bright dot of Jupiter. Goodnight.

Tonight’s Moon in its Waxing Crescent Phase. #Astronomy

Looking forward to spring, like when I took this shot of a momma and cubs at the buffet in Banff.

Two Moon shots with different M43 lenses. The left using my 150-600 f5-6.3 IS & the right using my 50-200 f2.8 IS Pro. #astronomy

Yikes. I forgot to mention where my April adventure will be. Ta-da.

Yup. Still cold outside. 🥶

BIG Announcement coming tomorrow. Last April our big photography adventure was at Salt Spring Island, BC. Tomorrow I will announce Dave’s April Photography Adventure Location for 2026. I am so fricking excited!! Feel free to place your guesses in the comments below. 🤓 Cheers!

I’ve seen a lot of complaints on other platforms saying the Sportsnet+ app crashes around eight times a day. I’ve had CBC Gem for a year now & haven’t had a single issue. I pay $5.99 + tax/ month for the ad-free option. Just a heads-up: live events still have ads, but replays are completely ad-free.

Canada’s well known guardian of the skies and land. The Cobra Chicken or as it is more commonly known, the Canada Goose. This one’s in a stare down with me. It was a draw in the end.

Another view of a female house sparrow here in downtown Calgary from Jan 31, 2026.

Blue Hour sunset from the balcony. Enjoy! #Calgary

Two shots, One bird. This male House Sparrow was one of the highlights of my walk about downtown Calgary. Such a cutie. Shot taken January 31, 2026.

Tonight’s incredible sunset from the balcony here in Calgary. We are looking southwest. Cheers. #SunsetPhotography #yyc #Sunset

Made it to lunchtime. Yay.

Here’s another shot of my friend in mid conversation with me. I use my voice to make bird whistles and clicks. #BirdPhotography

One of my Magpie friends in the city loves to chat with me.

Been away for a bit. Spending a lot of my time over at EH! Canada’s Social Network. Feel cree to drop by for a look. Link ⬇️ www.ehnow.ca

Last evening’s Moon shot from the balcony. It’s a bit hazy due to the cold temperatures, steam exhausts from high rises around me and other environmental factors, but overall I am pleased with the shot.

Anyone else excited to see more light on the walk home from work?

Fog isn’t always a drawback in photography. When used thoughtfully, it can add depth, atmosphere, and a sense of drama to a scene, like these two shots of mine from a few years back. #Photography

Three hours later, the fog remains. Very persistent I say! 😜🤣

Thank you to my followers. Each and everyone. The world feels heavy sometimes, but community still matters. In the New Year, may we support one another, think critically, and lead with empathy. Wishing you peace, strength, and better days ahead. Happy New Year Blueskiers!

Tonight’s Moon from the balcony for December 27th. Have a great night. 👍 #Astronomy

Currently updating the firmware on the camera and lens. 👍😁

So we are sitting on the couch watching TV and look who just passed by our window! 😜

Enjoying the holidays at home with the beautiful @beth.bsky.social

Enjoying the peace and quiet. 😁

What’s for dinner? Pinty’s Lemon & herb Chicken Breasts with Mash, Bell Peppers & Pickles. I improved the sauce by adding dill dip & some butter to give the sauce a creamy sheen. I cooked the breasts in my DREO ChefMaker air fryer under the sous vide setting. Tastes criminal. All ingredients 💯 🇨🇦.

Hey look. A brand new Commodore 64 for 2025 is here. The fun breadbox from the 80’s is back in three new styles. Check them out at www.commodore.net

Ick. Blowing snow. Drive carefully Calgarians.

Saddened to just hear that Actor Gil Gerard, star of the 1979 sci-fi series Buck Roger’s in the 25th Century has died at age of 82 after losing a battle with an aggressive form of cancer. Thank you Gil for bringing Buck Roger’s to life. May you roam amongst the stars now on your next adventure.

Made my love a grilled chicken breast topped with Swiss Chalet sauce. Potato Gnocchi, Kalamata Olives and sweet pickles. All ingredients 🇨🇦🇮🇹🇬🇷

Sunsets in some odd angles in the sky a few minutes ago. Not the typical place for sunset pics but caught them nonetheless. 😁
