Windy, but I'll take it.


Typical Calgary weather the last couple of days, strong west wind (very strong yesterday), mostly sunny, and dry. Taking my dog Yola for a walk in a nearby park yesterday, the wind gusts were whipping up the snow, and it was cold on my thinly gloved hands.


Yola, the great rodent tracker, thought she heard the creepings of mice under the crusted snow.









Meanwhile, having a macro lens on the camera helps you appreciate beauty on a small scale, like this leaf perched on an icy dome over a creek, formed during the recent cold spell.
