NE OH Spring Waterfall Tour - May 10, 2009 - Stop 8c

-----
This is a multi-part blog entry that
documents my trip to the Cleveland
area in early May, 2009.

Still in the rhododendron garden

of Holden Arboretum,

this little body of water is

called Oak Pond.

-----

-----

I spy another goose family.

-----

-----

See the goslings?

-----

-----

This plant in the foreground is

called piersis.

-----

-----

This tree fell in 2007.

The aboretum had a gentleman

make it into a work of art.

-----

-----

This is my favorite color.

-----

-----

I think of peaches when I see

the blossoms.

-----

-----

This is Hour-Glass Pond.

-----

-----

I've come back upon the goose clan.

-----

-----

Although many of the

rhododendrons were blooming

(as you can see!),

this entire hillside is full

of rhododendron bushes.

I wonder what it looks

like in full bloom!

-----

-----

Gotta come back here, too!

I only covered three miles of

the arboretum's more than

16 miles of trails!
