I know the rest of Canada has had a terrible winter. Atlantic Canada has been pounded, and hounded, and resoundingly hammered by storms.

Banff has had more than a month of mild weather and days and days of clear blue skies. I am surprised by how mild winter in the mountains has been - though it is far from over, I know.

Moon above Tunnel Mountain in the afternoon. The sky was so clear and blue today and the weather was so warm - no mittens, no hat, no scarf....

is it really February?

The sun is setting on a perfectly glorious day.
