Taken from deep down in my archives because I needed COLOUR, and I know many other people desperately long for anything other than WHITE : ) here in Calgary, it snowed all day yesterday and it's doing the same today. The temperature is -9C, with a windchill of -14C this morning. How much sense does it make that we live in a place where there has been snow and ice for six months? I guess one could always move to a different place - and risk facing wild forest fires (worse than ours), mudslides, tornadoes, hurricanes, and so on. Photographed this Gerbera at the Calgary Zoo on 23 March 2008. Stay safe and keep warm, everyone!
