This week we stop by the Arnold Arboretum, an historic landmark that has public gardens (Dee take your pick!! :D )

My target was the bonsai house here… I love bonsai and would do it myself if I had any kind of green thumb.  On the way there I came across some red osier…

I love red osier… it reminds me of when I used to go hunting for pussy willows as a child, we’d always find red osier too and the two look fantastic together.  I made a note to come back after the bonsai and give this bush some love :)

When I got to the bonsai house I realised that they had moved all the delicate plants to an indoor setting for the season.

Not to be deterred, I looked around a bit and found this hardy little tree hugging a wall.

So I gave it some love…

Then I wandered about taking photographs for a bit until I found myself back at my osier bush.

And I gave it some love…

Now make no mistake… yes, there were other people around in the gardens!!  Mostly jogging, though there were also several dog-walkers.  So I did have to be careful… nevertheless, it was a gleeful Dragon De-scaling! and so that makes notch #27 on the Scavenger Hunt!

I still have other sites in queue… ;)

Go see who else is being wanton here
