Photographed (macro) in the ENMAX Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo on September 20th. Such exquisite flowers.

I was so happy that there was one perfect flower on the low Dwarf Powder Puff shrub on my last visit to the Zoo. Usually, the flowers are shrivelled and drooped when I see them. Gotta dash, as I have my volunteer shift this afternoon, and then may call in to see the owls on my way home.

I was so happy to see this Pink Powder Puff shrub in the new Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo - I believe this is a dwarf one. The one they had in the old Conservatory was a much bigger shrub and the flowers were red, but maybe this small one will simply grow bigger? Just got back home from a very quick trip to a local park - well, it was quick getting there, but, oh boy, I must have caught rush hour on the way home. Had great fun watching a Porcupine that was up in a Spruce tree, nibbling on the branches. A real treat!
