    T Tuesday: photography adventure edition (part 1)

    Today for T stands for Tuesday I’m sharing the first installment of the adventure Mini-me and I headed went on to recreate the Digital Photography field trip she missed while on her French field trip. Poor communication between teachers I guess.

    We followed in the foot steps of her class and went to the Como Park Zoo and Conservatory in our state capital city of St. Paul. 

    The Conservatory is a beautiful structure with the iconic glass dome and several glass wings jutting out from the center.

    I knew the structure was old but didn’t realize that it was over 100 years old until I noticed this sign.

    While Mini-me was working her photography skills on the flora and fauna displayed, I was marveling at the architecture and unique features of the building.

    Its amazing to me how glass and steel can be a work of art in itself.

    In a separate wing of the conservatory was a Bonsai pavilion. These were my favorites.

    Since this wing was dedicated to Japanese culture and tradition it was only fitting I share a bit of the traditional tea ceremony pieces on display here for T stands for Tuesday.

    The pottery was simple yet beautiful.

    More next time for T Tuesday…

    What are you doing today?

    Funny Face Friday

    The other day I noticed this old and I must admit nasty, now that it’s enlarged, outlet at work and had to laugh at the face staring back at me.

    Now I am noticing faces in other strange places and objects. It just makes me smile.
