Black beauty

I'm posting early (again) today, as I am taking my camera with me when I go for my afternoon volunteer shift. I'm really hoping that the very strong winds will have died down by late afternoon, so that I can go and look for Prairie Crocuses (which I have still not seen yet this year). Would be nice if the grey sky could brighten up, too : )

Seen in the new Enmax Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo about 10 days ago. Much as I prefer a natural background, I rather liked the black and red against the greys and whites seen here.
