Banana Tree trunks

I always try not to post photos of the same thing next to each other, so here is a shot of two Banana Tree trunks : ) It was taken in the Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo, on 14 October 2014. I just liked the shades of colour and the textures - really, quite beautiful trees.

The weather forecast has changed overnight. Last night, it showed snow for today, but instead now shows a chance of a shower for this afternoon. It's a balmy 5C at the moment - if only every winter could be like this one! Much deserved after last winter (2013/2014), which was unbelievably long and brutal. Tomorrow and the next day, Saturday and Sunday are expected to be mainly sunny. As of last night, Sunday was expected to have sun, cloud, snow and rain. My car is gleamingly clean and all set for Sunday, after being caked with dried mud for the last two or three months. I'm hoping it stays that way. Not too likely, though, as I do have to go out again and the roads are messy. Five minutes and the car is sprayed with filthy water. After Sunday, it won't matter.
