Today I went to the Como Park Conservatory and took pictures until my camera ran out of batteries. There are too many for one post, so I'll have to post the rest tomorrow. I am going to go again next Sunday and repeat this process--there were several flowers and assorted shrubberies that I didn't get a chance to photograph. I am also just beginning to learn how to use the camera settings, so I apologize for the blurred bits and suchlike--I'm still getting my bearings with this camera.
