The sunset gives a faint orange glow to the western sky. A pond reflects the light. The shores are edged with mountains and evergreen trees.

Out about in the chilly temps! Open water in some locations at #thackermarsh and not in others. Qemqemó aka #mtogilvie St’ám’ya #Hopemountain #hopebc 🇨🇦

A paved road leads ahead along a slope with trees and snow on the left. There is snow along the right side of the road. Further on the right is a calm pond. Mountains and the faint glow of sunset are reflected in the pond. In the sky a jet trail leads from the upper right corner diagonally towards the mountains.

Chilly 🦮 #dogwalk at #thackermarsh. 1) Qemqemó aka #MountOgilvie with the moon and the setting sun, 2) Mt Outram and McLeod Peak, 3) snow and frost on a cattail 4) a family of swans #trumpeterswan , not often seen at the local marsh. They are usually further west down the valley.

A large grey and white bird with a black stripe along its head and a golden beak stands on a log among cattails, marsh grass, and lily pads next to a small area of open water. The reflection of clouds is visible in the water.
