I LOVE Alliums - see, Rebecca, great minds think alike : ) This huge beauty was growing in a spectacular garden that we visited a few weeks ago. That evening, we had visited a gentleman's cactus garden, and this other garden was just a few houses away. I just love all the tiny, "metallic-looking" stars. A handful of us went out to hike in Bragg Creek Provincial Park, west of the city, this morning, but ended up having to end our walk because of torrential rain! We did attempt to wait it out by going for delicious hot chocolate/coffee (a welcome treat - thanks to Dorothy and Stephen), but the rain just didn't quit. I think we have to wait till Friday before the weather improves, unless the forecast changes.

This was just a small flower that was on a stem with a few others - bought from Safeway, as usual : ) I needed to see colour today, as our world has become rather white after it snowed all morning. They said on TV early this morning that the roads were dreadful, with cars sliding down hilly streets into each other. I think one pile-up had eight cars involved. My plan had been to go out in search of birds, but I changed my mind and have stayed home all day. I am NOT ready for winter! Supposed to be 21C on Saturday - did anyone say that Calgary has crazy weather, LOL? More problems with Flickr ....sigh!
