Two weeks ago, after yet another early winter dusting of snow. I hiked the buttes again - this time with my videographer friend George. Dawn was subtle: splashes of pink over the high point in Grasslands Park.

The hiking was easy, although we did get adventurous and go off-trail to various vantage points. I've roamed all over this terrain for a couple of decades (even more!) and I know it well. It wasn't cold. It's always fantastic being out there with a huge prairie wilderness around us, no crowds - no people at all in winter - only critters and the sky.

Flickr is really slowing down as Christmas approaches, and I'm no different. Today I will do the 240-km round trip for last minute supplies. Might be too tired to think coherently after I return, but will catch up with everyone as soon as possible.
