Pictures from the past week or so.

Snow on the street. Photo by Jill Browne, Calgary, February 7, 2011.

There was more snow, though today a lot of it is gone, melted, lost.

We went over to the local arena. There’s something about arenas that makes people want to hang things from the ceiling.

My toque and mitts to keep warm in winter, by Jill Browne. Calgary, February 7, 2011.

I put my hat (toque) and mitts on the table and thought, maybe for posterity I should snap their picture.

On Wednesday, I went to a restaurant on Edmonton Trail called Over Easy, liked it. Here’s what I et and what the restaurant looked like.

Another day, I was down south doing some errands and saw some men working on the sign in front of a shopping centre. Not the job for me. Don’t like heights much.

That was during the week. Then on the weekend I had to do another little errand at South Centre. (Seems like the week before everything was at Market Mall, in the north.)

When I came out of South Centre, the parking lot was empty, the moon was shining, and the sky was a beautiful evening shade of blue.
