Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: shrivelled

Just a splash of colour on this overcast, snowy day. The temperature is -10C (windchill -16C) this morning and very light snow is falling. This photo of a Blanket Flower was taken at the Calgary Zoo on 14 October 2014. Well past its prime, but still colourful.

Posted at an unearthly hour this morning, as I have to be part way across the city by 6:50 a.m. for the Cochrane Wildlife Reserve Bird Count. Will finish when I get back.

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.

Have just spent three hours at the Zoo this afternoon, as we have more snow in the forecast over the next few days. Wanted to make the most of today's sunshine and now am in a rush to upload "my daily three" so that I can have some supper : ) This is what became of a brightly coloured rose I posted recently - I thought it turned into something quite beautiful. Apologies to my Flickr friends for not commenting much/at all - I have several projects that are keeping me running round in circles, not to mention all sorts of urgent personal things that just aren't getting done!!
