Arboretum evening

On Wednesday night it was a beautiful evening and I decided to spend some time in the Arboretum with my camera. Below are a few of my favorites that I took while I was walking around

I love willow trees and the light on this one was really nice. I also like the clouds behind it. 

I always love getting pictures at the lily pond. I love how blue the pond is and also the reflections of the flower. 

I really liked how round this leaf was -- different from what I normally see.

These were in the middle of the pond. I love it for the color and the simplicity..

This dragon fly was just hanging out on the bud so I had to get its picture

and it stayed there long enough for me to get this angle where you can really see its wings..

These light purple flowers were so pretty I had to capture them... 

I found the colored spots on this leaf were interesting...

These flowers were on a high branch and I loved the blue sky behind them 

Another flower against the blue sky. I just loved how this one was lit 

These were in the shadows andI just loved the way they looked 

I'm usually not a pink fan, but thought these roses were so pretty -- and I really love all the green around them 

These were all about the color and shapes -- so fun 

I loved the way the sun lit up the petals of the flower and the shape of the stems was very cool. I also like how the background is dark behind it all 

I found the shapes in this one really fun and I love how dark the buds on the left are 

This is about the leaves against the blue sky. It was just so pretty 

A long view of the fountain and trees. I love the lines and the clouds

I know its just a cloud but I loved how puffy it was and the shadows underneath to give it depth

looking down the road. I love the lines of trees and leaves and how it makes a tunnel

The overpass on campus-- I really enjoyed the light and reflections in this scene

Last one --  I was drawn to this for the way it hit the railings and then to also see the reflection in the windows...

Thanks for sharing the photos with me. I really do love catching things in nature especially when it is beautiful out.
