On a cold, snowy, windy day

This is the tip of a tiny flower petal, taken through my Raynox 250 macro lens. Wasn't sure whether I would end up posting it or not, but today seems to be a good day to see a splash of brilliant, glowing colour. A good part of Alberta is in the midst of a nasty winter storm, that is creating chaos and havoc. I would have happily stayed at home all day, but desperately needed to go food shopping. Every time you stop somewhere, you end up having to clear your vehicle of snow yet again and it's so much fun when you've cleared the last car window, jumped into the vehicle and already the snow has recovered all the windows, LOL. Oh, well, weather like this calls for desperate measures - which today came in the form of buying take-out from a local Chinese Restaurant on my way home : ) My car is plugged in and I don't plan on going anywhere tomorrow and maybe not even Sunday. We are being warned not to go out on the roads unless it is absolutely necessary. Stay warm and SAFE, everyone!
