It's always a fun and rare opportunity to watch a Chinook arch from the west side!

Happy Winter Solstice!
Today is my favourite day of the year! Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere; every day after today will be a little bit brighter!

Larch Cheating!
Did you know Calgarians can visit larch trees without heading to Kananaskis Country! Baker Park has a nice collection of larch in various stages of yellowing
