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

The #abstorm that blasted over Calgary on Sunday afternoon was born near Water Valley, in the foothills Northwest of Cochrane. Check out out the moment at 19 seconds where it decides to start dumping it's rain and hail!

Chasing a storm Wednesday night between Carstairs and Drumheller offered the opportunity to surf along the edge of a massive shelf cloud as it raced to overtake me!
