Another shot of this glorious pink Gerbera with the narrow petals. I'd never seen one like this before, and I haven't seen one since. Thank you, Safeway, from whom I bought this beauty.

Went with a friend south and east of the city yesterday, to Frank Lake and then east to the Shepard area. The wind was terrible - strong and cold! Not a lot of birds in these locations, both of which are very popular with birders. We saw plenty of open water on the various sloughs/ponds, but a good many of the birds were Northern Shovelers. We saw quite a few Tundra and Trumpeter Swans, which is always a treat. These are Trumpeters in this photo. They are dazzling white when the sun shines on them.

Today has been grey, cold, very windy and with a bit of snow thrown in this morning! So, I thought a sunny flower might help.
