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!

There are three American White Pelicans at the Calgary Zoo, this male and two females. They swim on a small pond and share the outdoor, wooded area with Deer, ducks and Wild Turkeys. Really a lovely little area for them. I do see Pelicans in the wild, but often at a great distance, except for down near the Bow River Weir in the city.
