It’s always a neat challenge to capture this piece of art in a new way. “Conversation” by William McElcheran, on the Stephen Avenue Mall just outside the Hudson’s Bay department store, is seen from behind the shoulder of one of the interlocutors. The image was captured the morning after snow blanketed the city of Calgary a few days ago.

Everything in Calgary — trees in particular — was left beautifully draped with fluffy, wet snow a few days ago. I went out for a wander to capture some of that before the sun melted everything off.

A fresh shroud of snow can’t hide the colourful fruit of this tree.

Another snap from Tuesday afternoon, from a wander I undertook during a (slight) break in the snowy weather.

One of the quick snaps I took yesterday after Calgary got walloped by a record-breaking snow storm, with the official record showing almost 33 cm accumulated on Tuesday. Some neighbourhoods got closer to 40 or 50 cm. Tuesday’s snowfall made it Calgary’s snowiest day since 1981 and snowiest Oct. 2 in the weather record books.
