On October 18th, I drove west from the city out towards the mountains. Highway 22X/Highway 66 goes past Bragg Creek and ends up at Forgetmenot Pond - one of my favourite places to drive for just an afternoon. Snow was on the ground when I reached the Pond and so I was down on my knees in snow to photograph this whispy Yellow Mountain-avens seedhead. A little sunshine on the snow and I ended up with a bokeh of tiny sparkles. It snowed a bit this morning while we were on a three-hour walk again in Fish Creek Park - no Northern Pygmy-owl, no Northern Goshawk, no Townsend's Solitaire, no Coyotes - but I did spot a very small caterpillar clinging to a tall stalk of grass, LOL!
