Yesterday evening we spent some time at the Festival of Lights here in Airdrie.

I spent yesterday's evening with my wife and a couple of our friend at the Calgary Zoo enjoying the Zoolights. The weather was great and we had a wonderful time! Seeing that many Christmas lights in one place somehow makes me feel more Christmasy :) If you didn't go yet, I recommend it!

Just took a photo of our house. It is pretty much a tradition of mine to take this photo every year. This is number 3 with this house. You can see previous photos from 2008 and from 2007 . This year I parked my Vespa in front of our garage. With weather being -26C it took me about 20 tries but I did start it :)

I don't really remember when I first saw a Panerai watch for the fist time, but I know that the first time I saw it, I loved it! There is something about Panerai watches, they are timeless, historic, and beautiful, and now The Luminor Marina Panerai Automatic is on my wrist :) Here are some shots of the watch I took earlier today.

I was scheduled to photograph a hockey game and a couple of volleyball games this weekend but because of the crazy weather we have in Calgary they were all cancelled. I did have a great weekend with Tracy! Today a couple of our friends, Tracy and I bundled up to brave the weather and spent some time at the Heritage Park. I haven't been there for years so it was great to visit it :) I should for sure do an engagement or wedding photo shoot there in the spring or summer!

We made it home from our mini vacation at Fairmont Vacation Villas. On our way home we stopped in Banff where we had some sushi and watched a movie. I had a great time but it's great to come home!

Busy day of relaxing today! We did 4.5 hours of swimming at Fairmont Hot Springs, than had a very nice BBQ and a movie at our place, and than about 1.5 hours more of swimming. So in total I was in the water for 6 hours today, I'm so tired!

Tracy, a couple of our friends, and I are on a mini vacation in BC. We are staying at Fairmont Vacation Villas and I think this is one of the nicest rooms we ever stayed in. I just took a couple of shots when we came in so it doesn't really show much, but at least you can see a bit of it.

Finally made it home, great to be back! Here is the final view of the islands and a pretty cool view from the Seattle International Airport. I have a family photo shoot later today so I better get some needed rest :)

Today was the last day/night on Maui, Hawaii for us. We spent the day relaxing, lots of swimming, and great local food :) Tomorrow we have to wake up right after 4am and head to the airport for our flight home.
