Winter colours

The weather forecast for yesterday had said sun with some cloud, so I decided to drive NW of Calgary, where I hadn't been for many months. We hadn't had any fresh snow, so I thought I had better get out there before our next snowfall. Apart from a few stretches of gravel road that were still covered in hard-packed snow, the roads were fine. No sign of any owls, but I did see a female Moose and a few horses. On the way home, I decided to drive part way along the Springbank Road, which I had never done before. This is where I took this view, looking west towards the distant mountains. Drab brown and blues : ) I'm going to need to find a splash of colour for my photostream after the three photos I posted today, lol!
