One of my favorite places in Twin Cities is Marjorie McNeely Conservatory at Como Park in Saint Paul. It is a fresh green oasis during long Minnesota winter. The conservatory recently went through major renovation. It has larger exhibit space and a brand new fern room equipped with small man-made waterfall. I usually spend more time in the fern room than in other exhibit rooms without particular reason.
About this photo: I try to play with lines, texture of different kinds of fern, and use the dof available from 105mm f/2.8 vr macro to add more dimension into this one.
