The last few days I’ve been going through the shots that I took in 2009 and reminiscing a bit about our time living in Alberta and St. Albert in particular. Each Tuesday evening during the summer months the Gold Dust Casino in St. Albert had a classic car night. It was always a great photo opportunity as well as a chance to talk to the owners of some of the cars to get their stories about their ride.
Pictured above is a 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 and below is a 1972 Buick Skylark GS.

This cannon overlooks the harbour in Québec City.
I love the colours that the leaves on the surrounding trees cast on the cannon. It really made the logo stand out.

When we were living in St. Albert we quite often looked after our friend’s Jack Russell Terrier as she had to travel quite a bit for her work. For a dog that is nearly 14 years old, he has an incredible amount of energy. This shot is one of the few moments that I was able to catch him sitting still, and the only reason was that he could hear my wife in the kitchen and thought he might be getting a treat!

Our niece stopped by for a visit one evening last week after her pre-school Halloween party.

We got another visit from the little monkey on Halloween.

The sky couldn’t have been better the day we visited Ottawa to get some great shots of the Parliament buildings and the Rideau Canal.

This beauty was on display at Classic Car Night at the Gold Dust Casino this evening. I’d put it at a 50-53, likely leaning closer to the 50 by the shape of the front fenders. It’s a shame it wasn’t a brighter evening to show off the orange/auburn paint job. Also had some great pinstriping work done on it.

A cup of coffee and Saturday’s St. Albert Gazette. Great way to start the weekend.
