Warmth

I don't know how I forgot about Como Conservatory as a way to cheat winter. It really is the perfect tropical antidote to winter for the price of a two dollar at will donation. It is warm, humid and verdant. The minute I started photographing the flowers I was overwhelmed by how much I had missed doing that. And then there is the koi pond. Delightful for the children and endlessly fascinating for this photographer. In fact it was a double koi pond day since we ate dinner at Mai Village. I still wonder about the fate of the koi in that pond that gobbled up Charlie's pacifier that dropped from his mouth when we dined there about a year ago.
