Today we had a few minutes before we needed to be at a family dinner / birthday party, so we stopped along our way at Nose Hill Park for quick walk. It was very quick, because we only had about 15 minutes, so we didn't get very deep into the park, which is about 4 kilometers wide. However, we got far enough to snap a few quick pictures of Scott in his sweet fleece snowsuit thingy. It was great for keeping him warm, but the hood really got in the way when he wanted to look over his shoulder at all the doggies out for walkies.
Perhaps you didn't know, but Nose Hill Park is "one of the largest municipal parks in North America." It's not exactly Central Park -- it's a wide grassy hill. It's nice and high so you can get some great views. I think one of the best spots is on the East side, just off 14th Street, where you get a great look at downtown Calgary. We were on the West side, where you can't see much but grass.Next time we're going East.

Scott's expression is so cute -- and yours isn't bad either, D.
I have always loved the name--Nose Hill Park--and am so glad that it has been kept in its natural state instead of being developed.
I will always remember C riding across Nose Hill in the early morning in the dark on his bike (that had a very squeaky pedal) and an owl dive bombing his head thinking C was a very large mouse dashing across the landscape. So funny !
