Photo Blogging Challenge – Fun (June 2018)
Despite the need to make progress on some stalled projects, we made time for fun as the seasons transitioned from spring to summer. We got out and about biking, hiking, birding and geocaching, to name just a few. How about you?
Destination: Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area
A portion of the Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area is open to the public and features a network of trails that provides access to a range of natural habitats plus mountain and city views. It's a quiet place to enjoy nature, just a few minutes outside Calgary's southwest city limits. Road construction in Calgary's SW quadrant make the drive a bit of an ordeal, but once the SW ring road is completed, access will be quick and easy.
Photo Blogging Challenge – Outdoor Activities (May 2018)
Calgary and area went directly from winter to summer this month. We took full advantage.

But we also made plenty of time for outdoor enjoyment, by cycling, walking, bird-watching and geocaching.
