Snapshots of Home

Here's a collection of photos taken today on my stroll around the Glenmore Reservoir, starting and ending at my own front doorstep. How lucky we are to enjoy views like this, just a short distance from home.

Christmas in Calgary - city skyline across the reservoir

A new skyscraper on the left?  It's the grain elevator at Heritage Park!

I was on the lookout for wildlife.......

...and was not disappointed.

Crossing the Elbow River at Weaselhead

North Glenmore Park.  This is as high as the sun got today.

It's a steep drop down to the Elbow River as it meanders into the Reservoir

A modern design for the footbridge crossing Glenmore Trail

This looks peaceful - behind me were six lanes of traffic on the Glenmore causeway!

Breathtaking mountain views from the Rockyview outlook 

The opposite of being "on the hot-seat"!!

The familiar sign marking Heritage Park
