A little Black-capped Chickadee doing what (some) Chickadees do! Someimes, all you need to do in certain locations is put your arm out to point something out to a friend, and before you know it, a little bird has landed on your hand : ) LOL, I've had them on my head, my shoulders, arms, hands, clinging to the leg of my jeans, and even perched on top of my camera. Such cute and friendly little guys. There is always a Chickadee around when nothing else seems to be. Thank you, Chickadees, especially in deep mid-winter, when it's -25C outside, and you come and see me in the park and give me something to photograph : ) So much appreciated!

I was so lucky that this beautiful Paper Kite butterfly landed briefly where it did, giving me the glass roof and blue sky as background. It's difficult to find this species with their wings open, so I was happy. Taken in the ENMAX Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo on 6 October 2012. These butterflies are also known as Rice Paper, or Large Tree Nymph butterfly. Of Southeast Asian origin, it is especially known for its presence in butterfly greenhouses.
