walking in a winter wonderland: part 1


Yesterday Jeff and I went out for a really long walk around the Glenmore Reservoir in Calgary. We walked along the edges of the reservoir itself, which is frozen and is being used by cross-country skiers right now, and made it well into Weaselhead, which is one of my favourite Calgary parks. We both agreed that we miss this landscape so much, and, of course, the fact that it was probably around 0ºC yesterday and not -40ºC made our walk much more enjoyable. It was so nice to be out in woods full of plants, birds, and animals that we recognize. It made us both homesick for this place. I'm sure our trip out to the mountains tomorrow will make us even more nostalgic for our former Calgary life. I'll share some more pictures from our walk tomorrow.
