Not sure how much shrimp these Flamingoes are being fed at the Calgary Zoo, and it looks to me as if most of it is going to the tail (or are they the wing?) feathers, LOL!

This is one of the many Orchids growing in the Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo at the moment. I wasn't sure how my new little Panasonic DMC-FZ18 would handle a white flower, as today was my first time out somewhere to test it. I went to the Calgary Zoo for the afternoon. I wanted to test it out and compare similar photos taken recently with my old, half-working Canon S3 IS and very old Olympus C750 UZ. I found the Panasonic DMC-FZ18 a delightful camera to use!! It is light-weight, comfy and if I can use it, then anyone could. I kept it on Intelligent Auto to test out the camera and it seems to have worked reasonably well in various light conditions. I did use flash for some of my indoor shots.
