An old sighting

02 Apr 2011 177
Came across this photo in my files that I decided to post after all, despite the really bad quality. Thought I'd add it to my Northern Pygmy-owl Set to remind me of that sighting in Fish Creek Park and of the overcast, lightless day : ) S/he does still look rather cute, though - sorry I didn't do you justice, little buddy. The ground is white, our trees are white, our sky is white - yes, we are in the middle of a spring snow storm and the WInter Storm Warning is still in effect. We should be used to this, but it doesn't make it any more pleasant, ha. So glad I went out for urgent groceries yesterday afternoon. So, here's a splash of colour for all of you who are once again living in a world of white. At least it's only -2C today, and not -22C or -32C, which is definitely something to be very thankful for. I think these are orchids, but I'm not sure. Photographed at the Calgary Zoo Conservatory on 8th July 2010. Drive carefully, everyone!
