I was revisiting some old photographs looking for some pictures that my mom mentioned in a phone call last night, when I happened upon a collection of images taken at the Como Zoo and Conservatory<\/a> in 2007. While they weren’t the pictures I was looking for, they were long-forgotten images that included a number that I found myself liking quite a bit. This spark of interest prompted me to create a new virtual exhibition, which I’ve titled “Nature Indoors<\/a>,” featuring photographs of “nature” taken “indoors” at the conservatory.<\/p>\n

The image above, not included in my final curated selection of images, is still one that I like, featuring a two-toed sloth which lives within the conservatory<\/a>. Another image below (also not included in the exhibition) is a detailed view of a poinsettia – I’m showing these additional images here just to flesh out some of the things I saw that day, without giving away what’s in the show until you click to see it here<\/a>!<\/p>\n
