Marchel - That's an especially nice picture you have there Lady! I like the rocks, the water, the plant life. Look at the color of the leaves on those cat-tails!

I LOVE Mercer Aboretum...its a little jewel nestled right on Aldine Westfield and (too) few people even know it is there. So peaceful, so beautiful and each season/each year they continue to add new areas, new plants, new features. When I was in grad school I used to frequently pack up my books and go study there. I wasn't thrilled to have to read/study at the volume that was required and somehow being outside, being there made it so much better. Thanks for the reminder ... I haven't been there for awhile and need to put it back on my list.

Hi Marchel, Great title for the photo! The sunshine was on my screen and I didn't notice, at first, that the plants appear to be sculptures. I bet the Arboretium is beautifully lit at night, and a very peaceful place.

CAROLE, It is truly one of those places where you can spend hours or even days!
CARL and CEIL, I love go to Mercer Arboretum. The whole garden is peaceful!!
JUNE, I'm partial to water also. We have a small waterfall in our backyard and I find it so peaceful.
RICH, I used the arboretum as a backdrop for a You tube video about my area. It was fun I could just stand in one place and turn in a circle talking.
MONIQUE, I love hearing water also.
WILLIAM, I just came from you San Diego photo and I loved it.
SABRINA, You are right Mercer is a bit of a fairy tale setting.
STEVE, Arboretums are a wonderful place to go with a camera.
LINDA, The cat tails were some kind of iron work and whomever did it was very gifted.
KATERINA, Thanks! I took so many of this pond it was hard to decide which one to use.

MYRL, Thanks! I love the color on the cat tails also. What a gifted sculptor this was!
CHARLES, We have a small waterfall in our back yard but it is NOTHING like this.

MARY, Isn't it an incredible sculpture. What a gift!!
DEBI, They are fountains so not only beautiful but also make beautiful water sounds.
RITA, Thanks! It is a pretty sculpture.
CHERYL, It is a good place to visit although not very cool right now. We have had an unusually HOT summer.

I can almost hear the sound of the water trickling down. Sure looks peaceful. Thanks for sharing.

I use to hang out at Mercer quite often back when it was a small 20 acres or so. I understand from friends that it is now up in the 300-acre range. Might be time for me to visit Texas again.
