Sheep River walk ...

Crow surveys the blue, blue sky

 Last weekend, I needed to visit Okotoks - 45 minutes south of Calgary - as part of the tutoring arrangement I have with one of the families I'm working for at the moment.  Since it was such a lovely day, I left home a little early and took the opportunity to take the pup for a wander around the Sheep River which runs through Okotoks.  Spring was definitely in the air with a stunning blue sky, birds chirping and the sun shining.  The only indication that the day was still a wintery cold (for an Australian) were the remnants of snow on the side of the river and the snow capped Rockies in the background.  The pup had a brilliant time scouting new territory while I enjoyed the fresh air before several hours inside.

Spring skies but still little pockets of snow remain
