I live near the Bow river in Calgary which gives me some wonderful places to enjoy as well as some wildlife, even close to downtown.
I was driving near the river the other day when something white caught my eye. It flew out of the bushes as I approached and at first I thought it may be a plastic bag or paper cup caught on the wind that some human piece of trash had thrown out. Then I noticed this "bag" had a face and legs. A weasel!
I've known that we have them in the wild in Alberta, I just didn't expect to see one a stone's throw from the city's core.
It darted across and went off to do the weasely stuff that weasels do. Sneaky and fast but a small player in the field of predators it made me laugh and think of another weasel I know. A small time player as well, darting through the shadows and undergrowth of a small, limited territory....hunting small game. Yes, it was a sign that all was good in my world.

Hmmm, it's a small world out there.
