Brace yourselves for a lot of photos. We spent this most beautiful of beautiful spring days at Cox Arboretum. It was, quite frankly, a selfish excursion because I have been on the hunt for a magnolia tree in bloom that I could get right up close to and draw, and since I haven’t found one conveniently in my own neighborhood I thought I surely would not go wrong there. And I wasn’t.
But, the baby wasn’t as excited as I was about sitting in one place a drawing pictures. I had to unstrap him and let him explore.
Can you see the maze wanderers?
It was such a beautiful day. Things like this make me as excited as I would be at Disneyland. Not that I’ve ever been to Disneyland, I’m just saying, I get very happy when I see wild animals basking in the sun, posing for my camera.
Or, better yet, letting my kids join in the fun.
Hi Jessica,
Thanks for the comment on my blog–I just love yours! The aesthetic is lovely, and I really enjoyed your topics. I’ll have to add you to my blogreader
I wanted to say that yes, we live in the Denver area, but my husband is originally from Kettering. I do enjoy the Arboretum…Josh worked there in high school and his mother still volunteers there.
If you have any questions (or are headed this way) drop me a line
How fun! I’ve been wanting to go down to Cox. My old house in South Carolina had a gigantic magnolia tree right in the front yard.
I miss the Cox Arboretum, such a beautiful place. Love all your photos especially those turtles. Whenever I’ve tried to approach one they would dive back into the water even before I got close. What lucky boys.
