Not a very spectacular composition, but I snapped this quickly yesterday evening, 6 August 2014, from the Weaselhead parking lot. Just one bit of the sky around the sun had turned this gorgeous pink. Taken after I had been on a nice, slow botany walk with friends in North Glenmore Park. A lot of the plants we were looking at were escapees from the gardens right next to the path in this part of the park. So much invasive Caragana, for a start, and some Bellflowers!

LOL, sorry, but my drive this morning led me back to the famous five - after getting myself lost, a feeling I dislike intensely! A spectacular hoar frost continued this morning after the last few days, though it looks more like ordinary snow in this photo. Felt good to finally have a blue sky. Went to a local park within the city on my way home. Then, was out this evening at an excellent talk on mushrooms. A long drive across the city, and normally I'm not out in the evenings, and I can't say I enjoy night driving. Worth it for this talk, though, even though I was stressed out having to drive somewhere I'd never been before : ) Thank goodness for Google Maps Street View, LOL - sure helps! Getting practically no time on Flickr the last few days - gosh, I've only made one comment today!!

Couldn't resist buying this small cactus with a brilliant orange Strawflower growing from the top. I love orange : )

Caught this little Flycatcher in the same area as the Great Horned Owls recently, at Burnsmead, Fish Creek Park. I think it's a Least Flycatcher - perhaps someone could put me right if I'm wrong - thanks. Birder friend, Tony, confirmed this ID for me - thanks, Tony!
