Obviously NOT MY WORK, but I couldn't resist posting this picture that my daughter put on my Facebook page last night, lol! Me, crazy about owls? Whatever made her think that?? I tried to find out who the creator of this was, but without any luck. After a few websites, I got a message saying that Norton had blocked a web attack on my computer, and after that, I decided to give up. If the person who designed this happens to see this on ipernity or my Flickr page, please do let me know and I will give you credit for this.

One of my favourite flowers, seen in the gardens at the Calgary Zoo last August. Feels so strange to look at this after spending a few hours walking in snow today : )

Yep, I made the most of the two tulips I bought recently. I love the red hearts on the petals and couldn't resist sharing this one : ) Happy day, everyone!

A whole row of these gorgeous, tall Sunflowers was growing in the wonderful homestead garden owned by Jim Coutts. We were lucky enough to have the chance to visit this place, south of the city near Nanton, last August. So many amazing plants - my favourites are always the Poppies.

Yes, winter drags on and on and on .... Then, I see something beautiful that only winter can create, and my spirits are lifted once again : ). This is where I was walking this morning for about three hours (temperature started off around -9C and rose to around -1C). I had never crossed the bridge at Mallard Point, in Fish Creek Park, and walked quite a way south along the eastern side of the Bow River. Later on this walk, the path climbs up the cliff and you get a beautiful (zoomed) view over part of Fish Creek Park (somewhere around Bankside) with the Rocky Mountains in the distance. Saw two Ring-necked Pheasants, a Northern Goshawk, a Pileated Woodpecker and all the usual ducks and Chickadees, and so on. Also watched about five or six White-tailed Deer cross the water. Forecast for the next three days (at least) is for SNOW - again : (

"Just" a little Black-capped Chickadee (LOL, my 134th Chickadee image now in my photostream) seen this morning at Sikome, Fish Creek Park. I like the little specks of snow on his tiny beak. He is totally ignorant of the fact that the weather forecast is for snow for the next few days, but at least he seems to be enjoying today's sunshine.
