S is for Submerged

Finally, a chinook in Calgary! Sweet relief from winter’s grip … but the pools and puddles from the melting snow are all over the place.
The Flickr title for this photo: “S is for Submerged”.

Election season is upon us

To my friends across Alberta: Today is voting day for city councils and school boards. Please exercise your democratic franchise … Go out and vote!
This photo was taken outside Calgary city hall during the advance vote last week; today, it is a polling station for a part of Ward 7.
