Photowalking at the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington, DC

By
Industry Observer with Retired

Photowalking at the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington, DC 4/29/12

Many visitors to Washington, DC miss one of the best attractions in the city.  With over 400 acres of parks and gardens, the U.S. National Arboretum is a treasure of beautiful trees, plants, flowers and beautiful scenery.

This is good place to spend the day.  Pack a lunch and plan to hike through gardens until you are too tired to continue.  Be sure to have your camera in hand.  Most of us can use the exercise of photowalking and all of us can use the pleasures of the experience.

Roy - love all your flower photos and I think I'll take some time out today to visit my local Arboretum filled with spring flowers. Thanks for the idea - I could use a day outside in nature. I'll of course bring my camera! Enjoy your Sunday!

 Roy, love the Azaleas... ours is just now beginning to bloom.  You and Delores are so lucky to be in an area where the flowers are blooming and so so many.

It is nice to receive positive feedback.  I will share some advice for those that like to post photographs of flowers.  My experience is that you will most likely receive a greater response on Facebook than on ActiveRain.
