I like pictures that show the same place in different seasons, like the two you showed of the lake.

That is one heck of an arboretum. Great pics.

Oh, oh, oh, how lovely.
Just for me, I don't mind snow. I haven't seen it for too many years and our stinking hot weather is coming on again.

Love your fall shots and look forward to the snow ones as well.

Hi Joe, What a neat place. I love arboretums--and Dawes Arboretum obviously is a great place to go for hiking and picnicking.

I love SNOW---but don't really want any until Christmas... I would love a white Christmas... Want to send me one????
