Late winter flowers? And in Minnesota? Yep, thanks to the Saint Paul's Marjorie McNeely Conservatory in Como Park.

Many more below the fold.

How often do we really look around us at the ordinary and mundane? For my part, I'm often lulled by it. I often don't think to grab my camera unless I'm going someplace, especially someplace outside of my everyday routine. 'Tis a fault, to be sure.

This week something jostled me out of the stupor of the mundane. I discovered, yet again, what a useful exercise looking at the everyday things around us can be. Think something around you, something that's just kind of there every day, is just utterly ordinary and uninteresting? Look again. You may not find something every time, but sometimes there is more there than first meets the daily eye. I always find it useful when I awake to the everyday, even if none of the photographs that result are terribly successful, because it helps to develop one's eye for interesting photos.

It's good to see a photography group here at DailyKos, and I look forward to reading discussions and seeing more images from photographer Kossaks. In fact, this group has brought me out of years of mostly lurking to post an inaugural diary.

Lately I've been preparing for my first small solo show scheduled in the fall in Saint Paul, Minnesota. So, as a way of introducing myself to the group, I share with you a few of the photos I've selected for the exhibit.
