4pm: Looking down Wilson Way past our house & up to the magnificent Ha Ling peak & Mount Rundle - what a scorcher of a day, 25C & not a cloud in the sky. I had to go to Calgary for work, I don't think Calgary was as warm as Canmore. Nicky tells me the kids spent most of the day outside - lucky them!

5pm: One of those cold, blowy days that occasionally blight us here in the Bow Valley, hard to take photos when visibility is so low & the worlds seems to be harshly desaturated. Here is a shot of one such snow cloud shrouding the tip of Ha Ling Peak on a cold Monday afternoon. Even the world's greatest photographer may struggle with this flat light & poor viso.

5pm: On my way to indoor soccer I popped down to our summer pitch to check it out - as I suspected an unhealthy mixture of ice & elk poo covered the dead grass!! Only about 3 months to go before it's warm enough to train & play outdoors....the ice will (hopefully) be gone but we'll still be dodging the piles of elk droppings they kindly deposit around the turf for us!!

Final journey of the Christmas Tree, on it's way to the great pyre growing at Quarry Lake. Ha Ling & Rundle peaks look on impervious.
