On Canada Day some friends and I visited Kings Landing. The theme that weekend was “Fine Wines and Tempestuous Times,” or as they put it:
It is 1855 in New Brunswick and a law to prohibit liquor is introduced. Will the impending law devastate our economy, or is it in our best interests to outlaw the demon rum? On this Canada Day Weekend, find out for yourself. Meet Simeon Jones, a famous brew master and son of Thomas Jones of Kings Landing fame. Learn famous New Brunswick drinking songs and sign a petition to save the Kings Head Inn (will you be able to sample a forbidden beverage?), or follow Samuel Leonard Tilley and join in the cause of the Sons and Daughters of Temperance Demon rum… “yea” or “nay,” you decide.
As always the settlement was beautiful and the cast excellent. Over the course of the day we saw many arguments for and against prohibition, attended a temperance rally, and then later in the day saw a barn dance! I regret that I didn’t get to learn any of those NB drinking songs, though. I’ve visited Kings Landing two summers in a row now and still not been able to see the entire settlement, so I guess that means I’ll be back again next year!

Alexis was born in January, six weeks before his due date and just 12 days after I had photographed what was supposed to be only the second of three photoshoots charting Annik’s pregnancy. Apparently he was anxious to be in pictures ;) I’ve been waiting a long time to get to meet him, but finally in early June we had our photoshoot. Here he is at 20 weeks.

Well I’m on vacation again this week, so I guess I had better wrap up my Alberta travelogue before I come home with even more photos to share! Here are a few final sights and scenes from across the province. I had a really excellent trip. Thanks for being so awesome, Alberta!

It should be fairly evident at this point that I simply cannot resist animals. Here are a few favourites from the Calgary Zoo, where I spent 5 hours and saw every single exhibit. I will spare you my shots from Prehistoric Park :)

If you have an afternoon to spend among the pyramids of Edmonton’s Muttart Conservatory, I definitely recommend it. There’s plenty to photograph here!
