Minnesota Landscape Arboretum - photos!

[BarbaraRose]

I finally got my photos uploaded from my new camera that I took at the arboretum a couple weeks ago. I am impressed with the quality of the photos from this camera. I took 250 pics but narrowed it down to the best 50 for here! There are a lot but they are very pretty! I hope you like azaleas as much as I do!















Japanese Garden:






Japanese Tea House


































The baby pine cones on this tree are red, soft and waxy feeling, like flowers. Cool!






Notice the red barn at the top of the photo...


I love, love, love these Japanese maples!


Lady Slippers...


Maidenhair Ferns grow in a circle...


Caught this bee on a flower...








Interesting shape to this log...


They had tons of Iris's!


I was disappointed that the bog trail was closed. It is really cool to walk thru!


More azaleas of all different colors!


There is a 3 mile drive thru the woods if you don't want to walk...


Magnolia blossom...


This is a building that a guy is making out of twigs!




I'll try this way...


Oops! Dead end...


Which way now?


View from above the maze...




Cool tree I sat under for awhile...


I hope you enjoyed these as much as I enjoyed taking them!

Beautiful pictures. I love the waterfall. Looks like you were there at the peak of bloom...must have been a wonderfully, relaxing day among all those colors.

Beautiful pictures, particularly liked the yellow and white Azaleas at least I think they were Azaleas. Also liked the twig house but all were spectacular! Thanks for posting them. What kind of camera did you use?

[BarbaraRose]

Thanks! I have a Kodak EasyShare Z915 with 10 megapixals and 10X zoom. I still have to play with all the different buttons and adjustments and learn more about it but I think I did pretty good my first time out!

And yes those yellow and white flowers were azaleas. I have never seen so many azaleas in so many different colors!

Pretty good for a Dewfus.
Actually, very pretty, Barbie! You did good!

Oh, my! Such lovely pictures. I can see why you love the place. I know I'd be there often.
The Japanese maples are in almost everyone's yards here in the PNW. There are so many versions of them. I have a coral bark Japanese maple in my front yard.
Thanks for sharing, I truly enjoyed myself.

What a beautiful place to explore! I can't wait until I retire to be able to do and see all these wonderful trips all of you take. Thanks for sharing.

Really wonderful photos, Barbie. I enjoyed going alone on your tour.
