Random shots from the arboretum

[sheltiesmama]

Just a few more of the shots I took at Mercer Arboretum. I gotta find someplace else to go this weekend, preferably someplace COOLER.

I wanted to move this swing and the surrounding foliage into my back yard ---



Yellow Zinnia. A tad blurred but I kind of like it like that---



I brought home a leaflet with the names of the flowers and of course these weren't on it. They were smaller than a quarter. I think they are in the violet family---



This is Ralph. He's my kind of spider ---



I hope you enjoy them and comments are always welcome.

great set, the 3rd is my fav .. simple and stunning .. not sure what they are though, but that's not important

Beautiful shots, the swing looks so inviting I can understand wanting to take it home.

Now Ralph is a spider that I can like! I'd love to have that swing and setting in my back yard. It looks great. Nice set and thanks for sharing.
