Sunset over the Grand Tetons

On our recent week's trip down to Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, US, we pulled off at a viewpoint and, as the time for the sun to set was approaching, we decided to stay there and witness sunset over the Grand Teton Range.

It's -5C (23F) in Calgary this morning and, though I haven't yet dared to peer through my blinds to see if more snow fell overnight, I've just heard the dreaded sound of snow being shovelled from the sidewalk. I have a three-hour walk, looking for birds, so I have no choice but to scrape the snow and ice off my car before I can go anywhere. And so, winter fun begins ....

6:15 p.m.: it's -4C and I've just noticed that there is a Heavy Snowfall Warning in effect for Calgary, with close to 20 cm of snow from this evening (Monday) to tomorrow evening. I was a bit late getting to my walk this morning - my car door locks had completely frozen, so I had to wait until I could get into my car. Despite being a very overcast, dull morning, it was a very enjoyable walk along the southern edge of Glenmore Reservoir. There were roughly 10,000 birds in view on the Reservoir today, every single one of them no more than black specks in the distance, lol. Useless for photos, but I was so happy to notice after the walk that there was a row of withered, snow-covered Sunflowers along the fence by the parking lot : )
