I love to see this bright red, old wagon that sits in Fish Creek Park by the Bow Valley Ranch. Next to it is the Artisan's Garden.

This is a macro view of colourful hybrid Poplar catkins, taken on 23 April 2015 in Fish Creek Park. When I went for a stroll around the Artisan Gardens at the eastern end of the park yesterday, I found a tree that still had its catkins in reasonable shape. The male and female catkins (flowers or reproductive parts) of hybrid poplars are usually found on separate trees.

Nothing too inspiring, but this is vibrant colour here in Calgary : ) We don't have the beautiful Maple trees that turn a glorious red in the fall, so any splash of deep orange or red tends to catch my eye. When I was driving out of Fish Creek Park late yesterday morning (14 October 2012), the colours on the hillside made me gasp and I just had to pull over and take a couple of shots.
