This little critter didn’t take too kindly to my interrupting whatever it was doing. After a few seconds of playing freeze, it scurried off to warn its brethren of a human in their midst. From my short wander through Calgary’s Edworthy Park in late September.

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.

Thumbs up for snow?

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.

From my wander through Edworthy Park a week ago — a beautiful, sunny autumn afternoon with temperatures reaching into the mid-teens Celsius. (The weather is quite a bit chillier and snowier today.)

Some visually neat piers under a pedestrian bridge in Calgary’s Edworthy Park, as seen last week.

The Mewata Armoury is, to me, one of the signature buildings on the west side of Calgary’s city centre. There’s nothing else quite like it. (Also, what a hoot to see signage in French! The English message was on the other side.)

There was a corroded tank of some kind sitting uphill from this location along one of the streams in Calgary’s Edworthy Park, so I’m going to go out on a limb and say this is very good advice.

Hoping for a couple more days like Tuesday before the cold weather settles in. This is from the Point McKay side of Edworthy Park.
