Pics of cats and plants

Continuing my attempt of catch up up on my flickr uploads here are more samples of what I uploaded. This time I uploaded two different sets. Hopefully this will make the catching up process faster... ... I doubt it.

The first set is from the first photographs I took of the cats we own at our place. The one at the top of the post is Lucy, officially my brother's cat though she seems to follow me than anyone else here. She's a demanding one always wanting me to pet her brush her or feed her. Our other cat is Lucky (see the naming trend?) is my brother's girlfriend's cat. He's the more playful of the two, however his form of fun involves bitting you, so it's not our form of fun. He's also the older and "bigger" -cough-fat-cough- of the two.

The second set is from my photos at the Franklin Park Conservatory. If I'm not mistaken this are from my first visit to the conservatory (to any conservatory for that matter). I found interesting that they have different sections for different environments. They had a Pacific climate area, a desert one, which is were I took this macro photo of a cactus, and several others. They also had areas outside the building where one could go to. At that time of the year they had their Bonsai collection outside. For me Bonsai are that type of plant that I always try to grow but can't seem to keep them alive for long, so I really like being able to see some that haven't been touch by my "black-thumb".

I've been to the conservatory many times after that one time. Hopefully I'll be uploading soon more of the photos I've taken, including some pretty nifty shots I took of their butterfly collection.
