Some pics from my trip to Canada, which can also be called “Pictures of Matt” - my lovely host/muse for the weekend. 
It can get so cold there that all you can do is laugh about it. Really! Makes it fun.
I will refrain from posting too many food pictures. So good!
Boooooooks!!! This one happens to be one of my favorites.
Low key afternoon…
Road to Banff! I’ve wanted to go there for the longest time! YES!!
Reason #57 I love Canada – they don’t play around when it comes to Christmas.
Old school elevators at the Banff Springs Hotel!
Wood burning fireplace. Mmm!
Looks fun, doesn’t it?
Matt knows everything about the area and will supply neat facts regarding anything from history to geology to being a wilderness explorer. I felt like I was at camp!
Gondolas to get a bird’s eye view of Banff.
Really? Yes, really!!
Defrosting for a few minutes before a mini hike. Catching people in their most organic state = one of my FAVORITE things to do!
Dancing is a little hard with snow boots on. I’m going to have to practice.
Going to ma and pa’s house for dinner.
I love parents.
My holidays were kickstarted a little early from the trip. I’m leaving for the Bay Area later this afternoon. Can’t wait to be home for Thanksgiving!
I love the 1st shot especially! Would you mind divulging which lens it was shot with? A wide 35mm perhaps? Grazie! Also, that old fashion elevator dial reminds me of the one from the Tower of Terror from Disney’s California Adventures~ lol
Thanks Lydia! All shot with the 50mm f1.2. That’s the only lens I bring when traveling. It’s my favorite!
Wonderful stuff, Twinny. I love seeing your inspiration…
I have a LOT of questions. 1. Is that food pic the Canadian version of a Vietnamese sandwich/bahn mi? 2. Where did Matt get his hat? 3. Did you REALLY have that deer pose for you in the road? Really?? Comments: 1. Love the duct tape “LET’S HAVE FUN
“!!! 2. Matt’s parents are adorable. 3. Banff = WOW. Beautiful. 4. So many smiles, so much life… LOVE! 5. Nice coat.
LOL @ Ivy. But I did have that same question regarding the Vietnamese sandwich. I will approve of that food pic. CC, that is some brilliant work you just posted. GAWD, I LOVE YOU! Looks like you two had an amazing time. Matt is looking very adorable as well. The pix are gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!
Omg, I love these so much! You are amazing, spectacular, gorgeous, talented, brilliant, adorable, hilarious, charismatic and super good at sharing food with others.
Holy Canadian Camoly…
Thanks Christine!
Have a great Thanksgiving with your family!
So pretty Christine!!!
AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
