I know my BSK friends in Eur/UK and points further south are still enjoying late summerish weather. Here in this part of N. Am. autumn is well underway. For me it's a sweet spot, summery daytime warmth still, but beautiful fall scenery around and crisp nighttime air. #autumn #nature #Canada

Well, I guess it's slow-cook Sunday, so here's what I'm up to. A basic spag-bol. Fresh ingredients of course! Loving seeing everyone else's tasty dishes, thank you BlueSky-ers. #SlowCookSunday

Pretty in pink, but a disappearing brand. This will soon be repainted into WestJet mainline colours. Fortunately, WS has finished interior retrofits across the entire Swoop and Sunwing acquisitions.

A bit of retro. The old Horizon Air retro scheme on Alaska's Embraer #avgeek

Missed my connection flight at LAX last night, had to overnight and catch the 6am flt this morning. Went to the hotel's shop to get something grab'n'go. What you see is two yogurt parfaits with two protein bars. $46.00 USD. Utterly gobsmacked.

The old worhorse taking me to London from Vancouver. G-VIIP. This is how a 27 year old 777-200 looks. Apparently, the old original seating, not yet gone through cabin refurbishment. #avgeeks

The sun hasn't risen yet, it's a soft pastel blue and pink sky, and dreadfully early!

A lovely last walk early this morning in Rome. Sun rising over Castel Sant'Angelo. Trains canceled between Roma Termini and Fiumicino, so a last minute panic to get one of the fewer and fewer taxis as the mobs realize there's no more apt train service.

Ongoing Roman adventure. Close ups of Trajan's column, where Trajan detailed 2000 years agowhat wonderful achievements he made in the Roman world. The third pic shows the exact spot (lone tree left of center) where Julius Caesar was done in on the Ides of March. Last is losing my Aperol virginity.

Completed Section 9 of Lindon's Capital Ring today. Incredible variety along the way, Harrow's hill was a pleasant surprise, saw Churchills boy hood school. So impressed with the Ring's signage, hard to get lost despite passage through hidden forested paths. #London #walking

Cacti blooms are almost always spectacular. This is my Peruvian apple cactus. The blooms fade and leave a small pod that grows into an edible fruit, euphemistically called an "apple". #Flowers #cactus #desert #botany

The before, the after. My annual big batch of chili. One meal 2nite, 14 more in the freezer. Total cost of ingreds was CAD67$, so $4.46 per meal (for 2). Highly nutritious, healthy, no sugar added, high in fiber. Could have saved $17 buying cheap meat but splurged on higher end veggie beef.

Very early AM ramp at MLA Luqa. Flights lined up for IST, CDG, LHR and AMS. Fantastic outdoor rooftop lounge at La Vallette. #avgeek #Malta #Airbus #A320

Rooftop patio view of an airport ramp. It's a dark pre dawn sky, there are five Airbus 320 aircraft of Malta Air all parked, one has passengers walking outdoors across the ramp embarking the nearest aircraft. All the aircraft have bright red tails with white eight pointed Maltese crosses on them.

Beautiful warm #autumn day along the rivers of #Calgary. The first is the termination of the Elbow River. The second is along the Bow. The last is one of those amazing places where two rivers meet, the confluence of the Elbow and Bow, where Fort Calgary was built in 1875 - Calgary's first bldg

Another gorgeous early fall day in southern Alberta. I'm surprised by how much green is left on the trees. #autumn #fall

A smooth glassy lake with still leafy trees on the far shoreline and a blue sky above it all. Blues and whites in the sky reflect on the water like a mirror.

Alright @jasonchampton.bsky.social , you might know about this KLM A333 at YYC. I'm pretty sure it was there when I flew out on May 17th, still sitting there when I flew in today. And, that 777 beside it?
