A few cellphone shots from our Thanksgiving Day trip to the Calgary Zoo. Will be doing post on my main camera shots. Work let me borrow a new $4,000 lens from OM System I am interested in at the Zoo. So far I’m blown away by the results.

Well Calgary, so far it’s just rain and majority is evaporating before it hits the ground. But it’s coming. Nearing the Three Hills turnoff. Expect lots of wind and cool temps for the most part.

Sad to hear the passing of Dame Patricia Routledge who played the character of Hyacinth Bucket (Pronounced Bouquet) in the British comedy series Keeping Up Appearances. One of my favourite Brit coms along with Are You Being Served and Fawlty Towers! Thank you for all the laughs. May you rest well!
