The harvest moon is the first full moon after the first frost.
Have we had frost in Calgary yet?
I enjoyed the Fall spectacle riding home on my bike. September is my favourite month.

I was relegated (by illness) to photographer / support team for the Funtastics Adventure Racing Team in Half Moon Bay.
The FARTs completed their longest race to date — Ocean Blue — in 8hrs, 40min. The rest of us FARTs were “proud and inspired”.
Morgen, Dave, Andy, Jeni
Many more experienced teams did not finish the harsh ocean kayaking, mountain biking and trail running course.
The night after the race we drove to Napa Valley, hosted for a gourmet dinner by friends of Dave and Lisa.

We finished in gorgeous Lake Taho, there to cycle with the Big Blue race organizer.
Last morning: run on the Rubicon Trail.

I enjoyed a week long visit with my parents at their home on the east coast of Vancouver Island.
My brother Rob was there too. And on his last night cooked up a big summer barbecue feast of steak, halibut, salmon and more.

Sadly, I got sick with a summer cold the last few days there.
