It's cooler today so I ventured out to the Arboretum. (Original Post)

Thank you. A closer look is needed when the broader landscape is drought ridden.

for the rolling hills of the Arnold Arboretum, near Boston where I grew up. It's the oldest public arboretum in North America and I didn't go often enough when I lived there. Now I live in Florida, where the new 'arboretum' in my tiny city consists of a collection of maybe 20 palms placed along a park path, none taller than 10 feet. Oh well, at least they're trying.

become the official state arboretum. It has a good collection of native plants. My brother in law is a master gardener and volunteer at the site.

I am going to shoot a few rolls of black and white film. This time I will be using manual lenses on my old EOS. I'm waiting for the adaptor for the M42 lenses.
