Weekly hike, foliage
The warm weather making the foliage turns slower. By now, many tress are still vividly green – can’t help but do some yoga. We hit three sites on a 47 degrees day: Planting Fields, Bailey Arboretum and Upper Francis Pond Preserve + Chelf Road Bridge. Shu Swamp and John Humes Japanese Stroll Garden are closed. My first time using Relive.
The thick pine needles and cones
The main gate is opened for a few visitors:
… the landscape: the Coe Hall (1918-21); Synoptic garden (page) … (didn’t visit Dahlia garden)
Sensory garden to the left, behind the entrance (page)
Italian garden (page) with a big blue fountain, and the little pink cottage next door.
