This plant is growing in the Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo. "Amazon Lily is a plant that belongs to the family Amaryllidaceae. Native to Central and South America, Amazon Lily resembles a bulb in shape. The plant has shiny and deep green leaves. It produces a bunch of white flowers. An attractive feature of these flowers is their sweet smell. Something that makes it attractive for human beings is the fact that it can be grown indoors." From Wikipedia.

Not as sharp in places as I would have liked, but better than previous photos I had taken : ). This dainty tropical plant is growing in the Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo.

No amazing Maple trees here, so I will go for "the yellow". Leaves are turning colour quickly here.

This small Green Stink Bug was wandering all over a Canada Thistle this afternoon. I love seeing these. Actually, I saw all sorts of things on my walk today, starting off with a family of Ring-necked Pheasants running through the long grass. Also saw what must have been bear droppings - filled with berries!

This is an old photo that I thought I would add to my American Pelican Set. To see dozens of these large, impressive birds all together at the Bow River Weir is so amazing. LOL, I always think they look like Zoo escapees!
