It was simply amazing while it lasted - but the few weeks were all over far too quickly : ) These two beautiful little Great Horned Owlets were practicing their balancing skills on the top edge of their nesting tree in Fish Creek Park, on 10 May 2013. They go from little balls of fluff to perching on this edge so quickly and then, blink, and they have gone, lol. Their baby-fluff pantaloons always make me smile, especially when seen from behind. What a sight! Most of the time, the light was not good, but on each evening, there was a bit of time when the sunlight was just beautiful. Can't begin to describe how thankful I was to have been there!

Finally, a photo of this pretty Tropical flower fit to post! It has proven to be a difficult flower to get in focus, but this one will do : ). Seen today in the Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo. Hope you had good luck with this one today, Nancy! I have seen similar looking flowers identified as Pink Quill or Purple Quill, so this is a tentative ID.
