Best of November 2024

The wonderful Fall weather in Calgary continued to the middle of the month. November started off clear of snow and wonderful sunrise mornings and sunset evenings. The last two weeks of the months were magical winter moments.  

On the first day of November I was taking a picture of a muskrat at the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary when I heard some steps behind me. As I looked over my shoulder, I saw a Mule Deer buck headed my way, using the bridge as a shortcut. He watched me for a while and then calmly walked past me. Those are my first two pictures for the month review.



On the same day, a cute Mountain Cottontail posed for me by the Colonel Walker house. It seemed like it was "mammal day" at the bird sanctuary.


It was a misty day at the sanctuary that first day of the month, and I love how the lagoon looked that morning.


This sunrise is from the LRT station in Bridgeland early in November.


By mid-month we were in magical snow times. I love the picture of the Colonel Walker house at the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary.


The next couple of pictures are of the fog and frost at the end of the month. These are from the Bridgeland area of Calgary.



November ended off with high contrast days of blue-skies and snowy trees. These are from the Rundle area of Calgary.
