Winter brings such lovely scenes

Last weekend we had a hoar frost here in Calgary so out came the camera

Once the sun came out and the temepratures rose the frost dropped off of the trees and bushes. More snow is predicted on Monday and Tuesday before Christmas so we shall see what scenes it will bring.

Minus 35C (with a windchill)

Temperatures have certainly dropped following the first major blizzard of the winter and with the windchill it certainly feels and is cold.

Calgary Zoo puts its animals indoors during the winter months and in their place a colourful light display is put on courtesy of the sponsors Enmax. We ventured to the Zoo not only to see the lights but also to Bill's works Christmas bash; apologies for some of the photos but it was cold and Bills hands were shaking a little. We will return at a later date when perhaps it is not minus 35C!
