Passionate pink - Happy Thanksgiving!

I think I'm right when I call this a Zinnia? Love photographing these flowers which were growing in the gardens at the Calgary Zoo on September 20th. It snowed here again last night, so a splash of vibrant colour is needed today. A little later this morning, I am going to Swiss Chalet for lunch with friends to catch up on news and enjoy a delicious Festive Meal, that they do so well! I will think of all my friends south of the border, celebrating their Thanksgiving today, whether with a fancy meal or simple, with family or alone. Happy and safe Thanksgiving to each and every one of you!
