This was 4am Friday morning… when your dog is 17 you find yourself outside at all hours of the night. This is a freakishly large rabbit under a street light (later I learned actually a hare) the size of a cocker spaniel …. I had no idea anything this large existed - up to 26” - well rather a scary discovery when half asleep at 4 am so the dog can pee #mutantnjnjarabbit #nothinggoodhappensat4am #funnynotfunny #calgary #yyc
A wonderful lunch at a top Calgary restaurant for almost 30 years. Located in an historic Dominion Bank building from the early 1900s - beautiful interior design with architectural salvage from Europe. Food was exquisite, excellent service - a real treat @teatrorestaurant . The old bank vault is the wine storage but I didn’t manage to sneak a view of that but it sounds awesome. Ya and it snowed!

#bocci #boccicluster #bocci2837 @bocci as a giant designer geek I actually went and saw these being made - blowing the smaller glass globe into the larger glass globe is quite a process and requires timing of two artists and glass specialists to execute - which explains the price tag - not to mention then the structure required for installation #glass #artglass #lightfixtures #design #decoratadesign if you scroll back far enough I posted video of the glass blowing probably a couple three years ago but it’s there

Harley Hotchkiss Gardens right in the middle of the downtown core. I visited here 7/8 years ago… and happened upon it today so stopped for a weiner walk… the corten steel horse sculpture series is called Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do by artist Joe Fafard Sask.(1942-2019) honouring the role horses have played in the growth and industry of the city. Commissioned by the Calgary Stamped in 2010 as a gift to the city - an identical series of 8 sculptures was gifted Quebec City in honour of their 400th anniversary and as the sister city to Calgary. The tall grasses look great when they fill in. There is a huge water feature that is badly damaged hopefully will be repaired. The pediment is a tribute to the fact that this was the original site of Calgarys First Court House built in 1888. Next to 6th Street SW C train (transit) station #calgary #yyc #downtowncalgay #doremifasilatido #urbangarden #citygarden #greenspace #cortensteel #sculpture #harleyhotchkissgardens
