I loved the beauty of this Echinacea flower, hanging on to its circle of shrivelled petals. Seen in the garden at the Calgary Zoo on October 11th.

My photo doesn't do justice to this absolutely gorgeous, quite large butterfly, seen in the ENMAX Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo. It stayed where it was, so I didn't get a chance to get it with a less cluttered background. Kind of neat to see in large size, if you have the time to take a peek. "The Emerald Swallowtail (Papilio palinurus) is a butterfly found primarily in South East Asia and is one of the very few green butterflies around. It is also referred to as Emerald Peacock or Green-banded Peacock Swallowtail. There are several subspecies (from Burma, Borneo, Indonesis, Nias and the Philippines)." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerald_Swallowtail After a long morning walk at Carburn Park today, I called in to see "my" owls and then took just a short walk and found another pair of Great Horned Owls that I had heard about. Saw two adults, but no sign of any young ones. Have a botanizing walk all evening, so once again I'm getting little time here on Flickr.
