Afsheen and I had a great time on our summer vacation. We first went to London and I got to meet some her family and see Stonehenge!
We then flew to Barcelona, took a high speed train to Madrid. A bus to Granada to see Alhambra. We then made our way back to London where we did the studio tour of the Harry Potter sets and back to Canada.

For my birthday Afsheen got me a lovely beer Advent calendar. It took me awhile to finish but all the beer were good and none were bad. Some were betters than others though.

Skully and Maverick Pictures
On the May long weekend, Afsheen, Geoff, Abril, Maverick and I went down to Calgary to see my parents. Maverick did pretty well in the car. He had a spray in his carrier that helped calm him down and he slept most of the time. We saw Afsheen’s friend at Chinook Mall and had a good time with my parents. I took a few pictures of Skully and Maverick. They mostly avoided each other or hissed and growled if they were close.

Maverick came over for a visit to my place so he could get practice travelling and visiting other places. He did quite well besides throwing his litter all over the place. See pictures of his visit below. Continue reading Maverick pictures

Christmas 2014
I had a nice relaxing Christmas this year. I went down to Calgary to visit Jaclyn and Pedro. We made sure Skully got her required attention. Played games and relaxed.
We went to visit Stuart and Stacey at Dead Man’s Flats then did a hoodoo walk with their dogs in Banff. We also did a walk around my parents’ neighbourhood.
See below for my photos. Continue reading Christmas 2014

The Lights at the Legislature 2014
Due to the nice (relative) weather Afsheen and I thought it would be good to go see the Christmas lights at the legislature. It was a nice evening for it.
I got some good practice taking pictures of lights at night. I still need more practice!
See below for my photos.

Grand Canyon!
I just got back from the Grand Canyon for a 6 day backpacking trip.
I went with a company called Wildland Trekking. There was 4 of us plus 1 guide and 1 guide in training.
You can see more details of it here:

We went Down the South Kaibab Trail (rim 1) then up and down the the North Kaibab Trail (rim 2) and then up the Bright Angel Trail (rim 3).
It is pretty spectacular and amazing how quickly the vegetation and rocks change all the time.
We had pretty much perfect backpacking weather. I wore a t-shirt most of the time. The last night was a little chilly but manageable.
After my trip my parents picked me up and I got to see their new place in Tucson and relax for a couple days before coming back to winter in Edmonton.
