JC Raulston Arboretum

On Sunday evening we took a trip to NCSU's JC Raulston Arboretum.  This is a treasure that I didn't even know about until a few weeks ago, and it is just a few minutes from my work and not much farther from our house.  It was a picture taking field trip.  Some of my favorites of the pictures I took are below.  To see a couple of the great ones Marty got, click over here.




I love this magnolia.

I wasn't sure how this picture would turn out because it was a little shady.  This is a lacecap hydrangea, I  like how the outer flowers look like butterflies around the inner flowers.

Beautiful photos! Are these with your new camera? (Did you get a new camera yet?)

Boss, glad you like them. I wasn't using the new camera--this is our old one that we just got a new battery for; Marty was using the new one.
