As soon as I learned this month's photo blogging challenge theme was "Oh the Places You've Been", I thought of the children's book "The Places You'll Go". Since everywhere we went this month was pretty close to home, what better way to liven things up than with a tip of the hat to Dr. Seuss...
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?
This month's photo blogging challenge features blue - the most common colour in my world thanks to the broad prairie sky overhead, its reflection in rivers, ponds and lakes, and the extensive use of blue-tinted glass in Calgary's newest office towers. The one constraint I imposed was to take all photos in downtown Calgary, since last month's PBC post featured photos from Canmore. Please click through to enjoy urban variations on blue...
Thanks to the multitude of community partners backing the Rotary-Mattamy Greenway, Calgarian's have pathway access to more neighbourhoods than ever before. Wondering where to start your exploration of the Greenway? We offer up five recommendations based on pedaling more than 500 km on Calgary pathways over the last six weeks. We also share advice on which areas to avoid - at least until the final construction phase is complete. Once the missing bits are finished, the Greenway is gonna be truly awesome! We might even try to ride the whole thing in one day!
After ride up Highwood Pass, we opted for something considerably easier for our next bicycle outing: 34 km (mostly) along sections of the Bow River Pathway in Calgary. It just naturally evolved into an art and architecture tour centered around 3 main stops.
