Colour burst

Holy smokes - this even took me a little by surprise this morning, lol!! Should have saved it to post on our next snowy day - though we are all REALLY hoping there won't be such a thing till next winter! Makes me feel a bit guilty posting something so colourful and cheery, knowing that so many people are still reeling from the deadly attack at the Boston marathon. Still hard to believe that two (comparatively) small explosions can cause so much human devastation.

Took this photo of the only Water Lily in bloom at the Calgary Zoo yesterday afternoon. Moments earlier, it had been standing tall and upright. Then the sprinkler was turned on and the weight of the water bowed down this beautiful bloom, giving a different angle on the centre.
