Looking west from the Reservoir
This is where friends and I tend to walk when we bird the southern edge of the Glenmore Reservoir in Calgary. However, this morning, we ended up walking eastwards and when we stopped to look across the Reservoir, this is one of the views we had. I did zoom in - can't remember if it was fully, 48x - so the Rocky Mountains do look much closer than they really are. The fall colours in Calgary are mainly light to deep yellow with an occasional splash of orange. We don't have the beautiful red Maples that are seen in eastern Canada, though some gardens do have an Amur Maple or similar, to add a bit of red. It was a chilly start to the day, with a thin layer of ice needing to be scraped from my car windscreen. Two fleece jackets, my lightweight jacket, long-johns and gloves were the fashion of the day, lol. A lovely, sunny day, though. Not sure where all the birds were - the Reservoir had practically no birds on it - and any birds on the water, flying over it or in the bushes and trees along the edge of the water, were too far away to photograph and, for me with no binoculars, pretty much invisible.
