We cropped this photo fairly tight so that you could see the look of joy on the faces of the two little girls, as they hang on tight for a ride through a bit of rough water on the Bow River this afternoon. Please make sure you click on the photo!

Warm, and wonderful long weekend

Under brilliantly blue skies, temps. climbed to the mid to high 20’s through S.Alta. today. Sun. will be similar, but more cloud will develop in the aft., and there could even be a few sprinkles in the foothills w. and n.w. of the city. Mon. will be the warmest, and that could result in t-showers in the eve., hopefully after supper, so all the Heritage Day festivities should be spared. The rest of the week looks to be mild, with more unsettled conditions developing later in the week. Enjoy the weekend, folks!
