A wildflower, Nuttall's (?) Sunflower, growing at Griffith Woods and being visited by a little bee all dressed to match : ) Taken on 3rd August 2008. Had intended going to get a 'Flu shot this morning, but then I wasn't sure if I was starting to come out in a slight cold. So, decided I'd better leave it and instead went to wash my mud-caked car that I hadn't washed for months. While I was sitting waiting for the person ahead fo me to finish with the soap and rinse, I realized I was getting Migraine, so it's a good job I didn't go for my 'Flu shot. Now I have a splitting headache, so not sure how much I'll be on Flickr this evening.

Isn't this 7-year-old male Barred Owl amazing? Not seen in the wild and not even seen at the Zoo this time. Instead, I got the chance to see and photograph (and stroke, awww) him at a meeting I went to yesterday evening. I've never seen a Barred Owl in the wild, but I do enjoy seeing the two at the Calgary Zoo. My camera can't deal with indoor light and I can't use flash successfully. Managed to rescue a few of the images, though. This owl was injured (damaged eye that he can't see out of), so would not have been able to be released.
