There are so many awesome gardens and arboretums in the Philadelphia region and I plan to visit every one of them this year. ha! And I love macro. :D I've actually been thinking about getting another macro lens, but I will hold off for now. It's just a whole other world waiting to be photographed. I'd say you could use my lens, but you know....it's for a Canon and all. If I ever find a Nikon macro lens laying around somewhere, I'll be sure to collect it for you. p.s. Thanks for the lens hood, albert! ;) That was a fun trip and I can't wait to go back again!

The difference was I'd go in at night through a secret hole in the massive fence. It's amazing during the day, but at night it's almost otherworldly. For years after that I had a friend who worked there. We'd occasionally let ourselves in after hours and wander free. Some of my greatest memories are from those nights. Of course I'm not advocating trespassing. No one else should sneak in, in the middle of the night. It's wrong and illegal.

My wife mentioned that the dawn redwoods aren't exactly the same as the giant California redwoods (although there is one of those at the Arboretum), but the dawn redwood story is far more interesting in that they were thought to be long extinct and only discovered in the 1940s!

Really dig the pix...especially the one of the dark red barn. I gotta go there…for some odd reason I haven't visited the place.
