We visited the National Arboretum in DC a few days after Christmas. All the trees! The bonsai are a crowd pleaser.
Little trees, big details.
Even a little bridge, across a little ravine!
There are also things on a more grand scale.
Winter plants without their green are still lovely.
Tree graffiti, both human and nature-made.
There is art everywhere. Natalie gave us a short lesson on Christmas fern (below), which you can identify based on its stocking shaped leaves. Very seasonally appropriate!
The branches on this tree were so yellow!
And I liked this papery bark:
We wandered down the path to a gate that brought us to the Anacostia River. Mowgli fell in a few minutes after the picture was taken below.
It was a good day.
