Yesterday, 2 November 2015, it snowed here, but it had all gone by the end of the day. It must have snowed again overnight as I see a light dusting of white. Temperature this morning is -3C (feeling like -7C), so I guess I had better dig out my thick winter jacket. I'm fairly sure I have the correct ID for this butterfly. If anyone sees that I'm wrong, please do let me know. This photo was taken on 29 September 2015, in the ENMAX Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo. That day, my alarm clock was set for 6:30 am so that I could go on a birding walk with friends. Unfortunately, I didn't read the e-mail carefully enough, so hadn't seen that the meeting place was not where I thought. Of course, no one else showed up where I was, so I took myself off to the Calgary Zoo instead. I had planned on going there after the walk, anyway.
