Because of my sunburn, the night was a little longer than I would have liked it to be. The weather was great and we had a relaxing and fun day. Everyone played more games and I had a chance to take some portraits. We finished the day by having some marshmallows by the fire.

It was a great long weekend and I hope everyone had as much fun as I did.

After a long night for some people (some tents were not as strong and nature took over, flooding them a little) the family had fun playing soccer, volleyball and many other games outside. In some way we were lucky to have a beautiful weather, but I wasn't so lucky, because I sunburned my face.

This weekend Tracy and I went to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan for Tracy's family reunion. It was a 6 hour drive from Calgary and by the time we arrived some people were already there. We didn't really have much time to setup our tent because the sky started to change and it was going to rain any minute. It didn't make us wait very long, rain was pouring as soon as we finished with our tent preparations. The wind was so strong, I thought it would blow my tent away, luckily the tent stayed dry and in one piece. I slept like a baby that night and all I can say is ... earplugs! (my tent is 3rd from the right)

I have been pretty busy lately with work but I finally found a minute to post some updates on my page. If you would like, you can take a look in my "Events" section for some more photos from the Weekend to End Breast Cancer. I also posted some photographs in my other galleries.

Second day of the Weekend to End Breast Cancer Walk. Walkers are challenged to walk approximately 30 kilometers a day for 2 days. They camp out Saturday night in a tent. Each walker must raise a minimum of $2000 in donations to participate and all proceeds go to cancer research centers. You can find out more about this event at the Weekend to End Breast Cancer.

Tracy and Mandy Mulder organizing their things in their tent, where they will spend the night, after the day of walking. Today was the first day of the 60km walk to raise money in the Weekend to End Breast Cancer.

Today I was covering my first baseball game. I don't really know much about baseball so I was learning as the game went on. At the end I was pretty happy with the photographs that I took, and specially for the first time out :) Calgary Vipers played against Winnipeg Goldeyes, Calgary lost 9-2.

Some of my bird shots from today. The owl photo was taken at the Zoo and on my way home I stopped to photograph pelicans at the Bow river.

I'm dead tired! Today was a very long day, plus the weather didn't help (+34C).
This weekend we had our company camping trip. We camped on Friday night in the Kananaskis National park and this morning some of us went for a two hour horse back ride in the mountains. If that wasn't enough, people also went for a whitewater rafting tour down the Kananaskis river.

Photo was done as advertising for the "Total Garage & Home Innovations" company.

The Blood Lines, band from Saskatchewan, playing at the Brocken City on the Saturday night.

Lindsey Griffin and Jody Wolosiak having fun at the Stomp Stampede party on Friday night, July 14.

Tracy and I spent some time at the Stampede tonight. If you go to the Stampede, you must have the beef on a bun, its the best!! So much to do, so little time - so true about the Stampede. I'm pretty sure i'm going again for the day on Saturday.

Some action shots that I photographed today at lunch time. The Calgary Dinosaurs were playing against the Calgary Villains at Broadview Park.

The Calgary Stampede is here. Here are some shots from the Stampede Parade.

Happy Canada day! What can be a better way to spend the day than to spend it in Banff national park? I woke up at 2:30am and drove to catch sunrise at Moraine Lake, I wasn't disappointed!

Today was my first official day when I worked as a volunteer photographer at the Calgary zoo, here are some of the shots that I took.

Black-crowned night-heron.

Tracy, Mandy, Sonny and I played some board games tonight.

Today I was fortunate enough to do a "Breakfast with the Gorillas" at the Calgary Zoo. In the morning Tracy and I spent some time with a zoo keeper, preparing food and feeding the gorillas. We had a great time!

Sunset at the Glenmore reservoir.

Calgary Zoo asked if I could make some gorilla portraits for them. Here are couple of the shots that I ended up with.

Wednesdays I play on a soccer team ("Soccer Starz") in a coed recreational league. I grabbed my camera and took a couple of shots of our team while subbing off. We were short of players and had our first loss of the season 6-4.

Victoria Day Classic High school basketball tournament.

Jaguar from the car show at Heritage Park on Sunday. I also attempted to photograph Tracy's cat meeting another cat for the first time but they didn't get along very well so I ended up with some individual shots of both cats.

Summer is here! Viktor Belski is mowing the lawn around his house. We are having very nice weather, yesterday the temperature reached +34C.

Calgary Stampede Horse Races. Last Friday I spend an evening at the races. I decided to put together a small photo story, covering more angles than just horse race its self. Please check out my photos in the "Events" galleries.

Some shots from my trip to the Waterton National park this morning.

On my way home. Took this through the car window while driving.
