Disappearing world

First, the distant Rocky Mountains disappeared and then more and more of the far banks of the Glenmore Reservoir disappeared in a haze of white. It's -4C (24.8F) this afternoon, the snow has finally stopped, and it's definitely more pleasant sitting in front of my computer with a mug of coffee than walking along the edge of the Reservoir in South Glenmore Park for almost three hours this morning : ) However, we were lucky to see the reported Pacific Loon the far side of the Reservoir, first in distant flight and then as a tiny speck on the water : ) Not much in the way of bird life, though a Bald Eagle did fly overhead, and we did see a Bufflehead or two, three Horned Grebes, 10 American Tree Sparrows, plus a few of the "usual". Living 1,000 km from the ocean, we are lucky to have the Reservoir as our body of water. A lovely, peaceful feeling to be down near the water's edge.
