Como Park Zoo & Conservatory: Water Lillies
Oh bliss! We're getting to do the stuff that's the perogative of every empty nester; wander to our heart's content through a conservatory! While Brian was at work or in school (translation: we weren't packing food into him or helping him move), we headed over to Como Park Zoo & Conservatory in Minneapolis. My shutter finger was so so happy!

ReplyDeleteWow...those water lilies are amazing! Your color is awesome here too!
ReplyDeleteI love these photos. Green is my all time favorite colors and leaves planets have a great green. I did get the e-mail thanks for the gift card.
ReplyDeleteok had some really bad spelling there. my comment should have said "I love these photos. Green is my all time favorite color, and these plants have a great green. I did get the e-mail thanks for the gift card."
ReplyDeleteThese are just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love water lilies - I especially like #2 - those big "flan pans" are super cool.
ReplyDeleteWhen we lived in St. Paul we went to the Como Park Conservatory a lot--it's such a neat place. I love your water lily shots, especially the large African (?) ones with the upright edges. The first one with the sun coming through the edge, showing the veining,is really really neat. The size of those is amazing!! By the way, I didn't know you'd posted waterlilies until I'd posted, too. Oops! Yours are much more interesting.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots.
ReplyDeleteThose are the best photos you have ever taken in my opinion. You out did yourself!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place and those are the coolest water lillies ever! They look like trays, I've never seen any like that before. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, these are stunning. Are the big, flat, tray things plants as well?
ReplyDeletethese would make beautiful greeting cards!
ReplyDeleteThose are just stunning. I would love to go and see something like that. I had no idea that got so big.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots! Those are some huge water lilies!
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Goodness. These are some absolutely stunning and breathtaking photos. The beauty of these plants has been fantastically captured. You, my dear, and your shutter finger, are amazing!
