It was the first time I’ve frosted up this winter in southern Alberta this winter.

I was looking for the swans my pal Mike had seen earlier in the day .

I didn’t really expect to see them given the heavy mist on the Bow River but it was worth taking a look.

A pileated woodpecker gobbled down frozen berries and let me get quite close to it.

A dead-end road runs along the west rim of the area and the views are spectacular.

Downtown Calgary is easily visible on a clear day .

The grassy slopes host herds of elk, lots of deer and the occasional bear and cougar.

The sun was deceptively warm and it felt a lot nicer than the -23C the dash thermometer read.
