We went on a third walking tour with the incomparable Peter Chausse this week, and this one was just as great as the others. I've lived in this city all my life and been to the Arboretum literally hundreds of times, yet I learned and saw all sorts of new things on Tuesday. He covered wildlife, history, and art along the way, and even got the whole group to be silent and listen to the sounds around us for a little while. Not an easy task with 13 kids holding plastic bags in a graveled area.
Check out the amazing root system on this tree. The picture doesn't do it justice, unfortunately.
And the bark on several of the trees we saw was just beautiful.
