I have not been doing much photography lately, but last weekend we stumbled across a little conservatory in Mishawaka, Indiana and I got a few acceptable shots. The conservatory was small, and somewhat in disrepair due to a lack of funding. It was a shame, really, as the people we met that were working there obviously cared about it. It was a little gem of a place. I hope they can keep it going.
Bird of Paradise:

And, I have no idea what this is, but it sure was interesting!

Bird of Paradise:

And, I have no idea what this is, but it sure was interesting!

Sweet the coming on
Of grateful evening mild; then silent night
With this her solemn bird and this fair moon,
And these the gems of heaven, her starry train.
--John Milton
