Spring in Calgary


It stopped snowing and began to brighten up just as I was getting near to the parking lot after spending a couple of hours in a snowstorm with strong winds. This is a small part of the Glenmore Reservoir, taken from South Glenmore Park and looking towards Heritage Park - you can see the windmill and the old oil derrick. When I read the forecast for the day before yesterday, I decided to stay home and not go on a bird walk with friends. The photo in the comment box below is is what they saw and I missed : ) Apparently, they were all saying how much I would have loved these ice formations. Thanks to an immediate e-mail from Joanne, who was on the walk, I was able to dash out and see them for myself. So, it was back to winter boots, winter jacket plus two fleece jackets for a very cold walk in driving snow. Unfortunately, the snow was covering the ice crystals and the light was atrocious, but you can get the idea : ) Joanne, can't thank you enough! Very thoughtful of you to let me know. I also saw at least two Loons way, way out in the middle of the Reservoir, a number of American Wigeons and various others. I wasn't there to look for birds though - my focus was on the ice. Only one third of the Reservoir is open water, so far, but warmer weather is on its way. Can't believe I stayed there so long - long enough to need Tim Horton's Drive-through on the way home, for hot chili and soup : )
