St. Paul Conservatory – a couple of favorites

Last week I stopped in at the conservatory at Como Park to check out the spring flower show – here are a couple I liked…

this weather is for the birds…

Literally.  We’re all anxiously waiting for green to show up.  Regardless of the late arrival of spring and all appearances of it, the birds still make their welcome presence be known both in song and bright plumage.  With brown and white still dominating the landscape, they provide a colorful break.  Following are some of the birds I’ve encountered this spring and  in the days to come I’ll be publishing a new page on the website devoted to birds.
