Winter's just around the corner

Couldn't resist taking a few macro shots of these tiny ice crystals growing on one of those orange, plastic, temporary "fences&quot that you sometimes see. Noticed on a walk at Inglewood Bird Sanctuary on October 30th. Can't believe the crazy weather we are having. It was -2C when I left the house to go on a walk all morning from the Boat Launch in Fish Creek Park to the far end of the park, past the LaFarge area. This afternoon, it's 20C - warmer than most of our so-called summer days this year! We saw one Bald Eagle perched across the Bow River, and a Snow Goose flying in a distant formation with a number of Canada Geese. On the walk back, my friends spotted a mystery "something" in a distant tree. When I looked in that direction, I saw something sticking up from a long branch and assumed that this "object" was what everyone else was looking at. Turned out that their "something" was just part of a tree, but my "something" turned out to be a Great Blue Heron, LOL!! Out in the open on a branch, but oh so far away : ) Lovely to see it just seemingly enjoying the sun's warmth.
