Leaves at Como

I am avoiding doing dishes by writing a blog post.

Don’t feel sorry for me. I haven’t done dishes in days, so I’m just using that as an excuse to write a blog post, although I really need no excuses to avoid the dishes or to write blog posts.

I could also be folding laundry right now.

Instead, I’d like to show you some pictures of leaves I took at the Como Park Conservatory just over a month ago, when Hubby and I visited. (Has it really been that long?)

The Conservatory is one of my favorite places to take pictures. I’m a bit of a mad woman about it. No, I don’t shove babies to get a shot, but I can’t stop myself from clicking away, so I end up with dozens of photos before I know it.

Here are a few of them from our April visit. (I’ll restrain myself from showing you all of them, which will allow me to share more in later blog posts.)

Please do not ask me what these plants are. I just take the pictures; I don’t actually retain the knowledge conveyed by the labels.
