HOT red - a photo on Flickriver

HOT red

            I just HAD to post something that was vibrant, rich RED, to take my mind off how cold it is : )  It is -21C today with a windchill of -27C.  It can get a lot colder than this - and I really don't want to think about THAT : )  This was one of the beautiful, shiny Anthuriums growing in the new Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo.

"Anthurium is a large genus of about 600- 800 (possibly 1,000) species, belonging to the arum family (Araceae). Anthurium can also be called "Flamingo Flower" or "Boy Flower", both referring to the structure of the spathe and spadix."  From Wikipedia.

Just spent a good part of the afternoon copying four folders of nature images into a new folder, ready to burn to DVD.  For some weird reason, it kept removing all my titles, leaving just the number of each photo, which is definitely not what I wanted.  That's what I call a wasted afternoon : )
