No matter what time of year you visit the University of Michigan’s Conservatory at Matthaei Botanical gardens you’ll get a warm feeling.
So it’s there that I found a photo for this week’s WordPress photo challenge representing warmth. The tropical warmth of the building in conjunction with the warmth of the season.
Many people have gone out to find a bit of warmth in their worlds. You can find a few of my favorites here, here, here and here. And especially here. Or check out the original link above to see them all.
Stay warm everybody!

Beautiful photo! Love the tropical feeling of conservatories.
It’s been so warm here the ticks are back! I guess that’s the price we pay for springtime in December. I’m soaking in the warmth while I can!

Darn ticks! I’d have thought all that snow would have killed them for the rest of this season! It’s freezing here now, I think we’re really heading toward winter now. But every day is one day closer to spring.

I remember when we lived in Minnesota – they was a wonderful conservatory that actually was part of the local library – loved going there while it was cold. That is a wonderful photo
