Weekly Digest

Highwood Meadows

Not much time for blogging, therefore a brief summary of this week's highlights in Anna's life:

  • Saw two grizzly bears on Sunday!!!
  • Was very grateful that I was hiking with a big group, because the two beauties surprised us close up!
  • Wrote my citizenship test this morning. The Canadian Dream is manifesting... (in case you want to know, what the questions are like click here and find out, if you can get the perfect score!)
  • Calgary weather is magnificent: this week has been the yellowest, most beautiful autumn week of my Canadian era so far!
  • Mercury is retrograding - therefore I am not even going to try to start something new. I am just hoping that next week's flights are going to be on time...

Painted Faces II


I know, the face painter at yesterday's wedding at the Zoo was primarily meant to be entertainment for the kids, but I lined up to get my face painted too. A little more subtle than the design of Neko, the butterfly girl, but she was the one who inspired me.


...et moi...

Pepper

May I introduce you? The brown and white guy, I am hugging in the picture is Pepper from the Eagle Feather Ranch. The Eagle Feather Riders ride without saddle and bridle, which is quite different from my riding experience.

Not sure, if Pepper is as much into hugging as I am. He looks a little hostile...
