Dusk in the Arboretum

[urbpan]

Rebecca climbed a crabapple tree.



I looked at some lichen.





We climbed the big hill,



and the sky was pretty.



I like that the trees wear name tags here. This is a Japanese honey locust.



There's some green where the snow has melted--notoriously invasive garlic mustard and ubiquitous dandelion.



There were tons of winter moths, apparently a soon-to-be notorious invasive.



Dusk continued to fall, until only sihouettes remained, like this pretty Japanese larch.



We caught a glimpse of Shub-Niggurath, the Black Goat of the Arboretum with a Thousand Young, but somehow escaped with our sanity.
