Today we got sick of sitting around the apartment & decided to go for a walk to the Elbow river (a few blocks away).
Most of the waterways are frozen over now. The lakes & rivers in the mountains have been frozen for a while. The last few weeks, even the rivers & streams around Calgary have been frozen over (or at least partially). It's pretty cool really. You can see the city buildings in the background.
During our wander along Elbow River, I spotted some movement up river. An animal scurried from the island in centre of shot into the gap in the ice. I'm not sure whether it was an otter or a beaver (I think it was a beaver or otter) but it was cool to see so close to the centre of the city. I was way too slow to take a photo of whatever it was.
