A mix of Trumpeter Swans and Canada Geese

            Wednesday, 28 October 2020: our temperature just after 1:00 pm is PLUS 2C, (windchill -2C)!  Sunrise is at 8:23 am and sunset is at 6:15 pm.  Overcast today.

This morning, I am posting half a dozen rather uninspiring photos taken yesterday, 27 October 2020.  I joined a small group of masked birding friends for a morning walk at Mallard Point, Fish Creek Provincial Park.  Unfortunately, a very painful knee meant that I only did part of the walk before having to turn back.  Most of the birds were far away.  Always nice, though, to see Trumpeter or Tundra Swans.

Once again, I need to get back to archive photos, for some colour.  They are much better for lifting the spirits.
