A photo from 4 March 2013 - doesn't it make you wonder how these tiny birds manage to survive the snow and frigid temperatures? Never fails to amaze me. Taken at Inglewood Bird Sanctuary, which I believe is still closed due to the devastation caused by Alberta's Flood of the Century in June 2013. I only managed to upload the first of three images this evening. I don't remember ever having a problem with uploading before. Took forever for the second shot to finish and then I was told it didn't work. Eventually, after many tries, I chose another photo taken on the same day and it, too, is taking forever and I suspect that it isn't going to work.

These tend to be very straggly looking flowers and I never know the name of them. They have so many narrow petals (?). Needed some colour to post today, after the blizzard we had yesterday and snow still falling today. The wind was howling around my house yesterday and there are going to be so many deep snowdrifts to be cautious of. Tomorrow, I will have no choice but to go out, as I have a volunteer shift. So, yet another day to stay home. Keep warm and safe, everyone!
