On Saturday, J and I went walking at Arnold Arboretum, knowing it would be in peak flower the day before Lilac Sunday.
Saturday was a beautiful, sun-drenched day, and the lilacs were indeed in flower, admired by countless picnickers, lounging couples, and families walking with dogs, baby strollers, and children on bikes and scooters. Although neither humans nor dogs are allowed in the Arboretum ponds, J and I spotted (and photographed) one biped who waded brazenly, undeterred by the passing crowds.
Click here for more photos from the Arboretum, including several additional shots of the green heron we saw stalking fish and frogs. Enjoy!

Love the Red Admiral and the heron, Lorianne

Red Admiral! Oh, that’s it! Someone had recently mentioned what these butterflies are called–they seem to be everywhere right now–but I couldn’t remember what it was. Thank you for “reminding” me!
