Autumn beauty

28 September 2014 was the first time I had been to the Calgary Zoo since before the Alberta Flood of the Century in June 2013. I had been photographing wild things over the summer and just never made it as far as the Zoo. Couldn't resist these beautiful fall leaves - our autumn colour in Alberta is mainly yellow, as we don't get the amazing Maple trees here. So, leaves that have turned red here tend to catch the eye.

There were so many people everywhere at the Zoo. Normally, I wouldn’t go on a Sunday, but I thought it might be a good idea to drive the dreaded Deerfoot Trail on my way home on a slightly quieter day. I usually avoid Deerfoot at all cost, as it’s a dangerous road to be on.
