Photos: Beat the cold-weather blues at the Como Zoo Conservatory

On the first day of spring, few signs of the season can be found in our snow-covered landscape. But inside the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory in St. Paul, the temperature is tropical and vibrant colors speckle the glass rooms.

What do a former runway model, a young man with cerebral palsy and a musher from Tennessee have in common? They're all part of the field this year competing in the John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon.

Minnesota Scenes: Your February

Minnesota Scenes: Your February

Minnesota Public Radio News invites you to share your images of Minnesota on Flickr. If you do, we may pick your work to appear on MPR's Minnesota Today, and in a monthly gallery right here. We're looking for general interest photos of all kinds: wildlife, landscapes, festivals, events, rural scenes, urban life, outdoor recreation, sports, lutefisk -- pretty much anything that you think reflects life in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Below you'll find our picks from February (and one or two from earlier that were too good to pass up).
