After a very very very very very long winter, the arboretum is so inviting I cannot stay away. Every day off finds me there. Tomorrow is Jahan's birthday party, but Sunday I'm going back for some more hiking. Last weekend the weather was perfect and the place was stunningly spring. The area is 1700 acres, divided into the west (meadows, lakes, prairies) and the east (woods, swamps). So there are so many places to go. Different paths intersect the main roads, and each path is circular so there's no getting lost. This is such a great place to bring your camera. I think I got some pretty good photos to share the present springtime beauty with you...and of course, if you click on them to view larger they are much more splendid!
Those are beautiful pictures--there really is no way to describe the effect of ebullient Spring on one's mind after a long winter in the snowbelt.
