«ARNOLD ARBORETUM»

Today is a glorious day in Boston. The temperature is just perfect and the sky is clear. Tim and I decided to go visit the Harvard University's Arnold Arboretum before the winter arrives. It's already too late to catch the fall beauty since the golden leaves have pretty much all fallen to the ground, and the branches look naked. However this post-autumn, pre-winter look has its own charm to it. Well, see it for yourself!

There are several entrances into the Arboretum, and this is from one of them.

The place has all the tress labeled with their names and categories.

We chose to walk on a narrow path off the main road

The radiant sun was so gorgeous, I wish everyday were like today

This tree is so interesting in the way it's peeling off, I just had to take a picture of the phenomenon

Love the red

and the white, like feathers

and lavender, so many colors

and the beautifully clear sky

These leaves are so vibrant that I thought they were fake

Christmas is almost here, don't you want to put ornaments on this tree?

More shots of this glorious day

I personally love this one

The last few leaves left on the brances

and the last bits of flowers

These ones look like star fish crawled up on the trees, or not...

We found an earthworm struggling on the cement, it was trying to tangle itself up for some strange reason

These leaves, according to Tim, felt like paper ^0^

Do you see a bird nest up on the tree?

Walking back to the entrance

Outside the Arboretum in the streets of Jamaica Plain, don't they have the cutest houses?
