A field along Morse Road near Outville. Okay, so it wasn't taken at Dawe's, but I *was* on my way there. ;)
One of the prettiest sights along SR13 just south of Newark. Dawes owns this field and barn.
Another wide shot, this one showing more of the wildflowers. The goldenrod is almost spent.
A wide shot of the barn.
A vertical rendition of the scene.
Fall. I love it.
This is SR13, facing toward Newark. The entrance to the arboretum is behind me about half a mile, if that.
This fella greets visitors at the visitor's center. Check out what his facial features are made from.
A closeup of his hand.
Isn't this a wonderful display? Thanks to whoever did it!
Relax...Isn't this wonderful? I could have sat by it for an hour.
This is to the right of the doorway, across from the scarecrow. I loved the arrangement.
One of the stained glass pieces hanging in the visitor's center.
I like how this one doubles back on itself.
Ginko biloba trees make wonderful and colorful bonsai specimens!
Moss at the feet of the ginko bonsai.
A lovely ginko leaf.
The Bonsai Courtyard plaque, coupled with another gorgeous ginko bonsai.
More ginko leaves. Yes, I like 'em!
A single Ginko leaf nestled in with some variegated vinca minor.
Vinca minor and fallen leaves.
An oak leaf with moss. I wonder if a chipmunk left that seed below it.
I *think* this is the oldest bonsai in the collection, first started in 1900. I need to verify this.
Not sure what this one is, but I love the clusters of leaves.
The all-seasons garden, fronted by cherries.
Another of the all-seasons garden.
Moss at the feet of a bonsai. I love how it is to scale.
A Japanese maple bonsai.
A wider shot of the Japanese maple bonsai.
This isn't a great shot, but it shows how this grouping of bonsai make a miniature grove of trees. The platter is only about 18" long.
A cool, twisty pine. See how it is wired to train it into a desirable shape?
A pair. That second one is another miniature grove.
More of the delightful little moss.
Two more, from very different types of trees.
A quartet of bonsai in the second part of the garden. That's a bamboo in the lower right.
These roots were too cool for color. Look at those things! It looks like it is going to walk right out of that container.
This is part of a bonsai. The fact that some of the bark was stripped from it made it even more interesting to me.
Black and white seemed to highlight that spider web in a way color didn't.
Canna lilies backed by gorgeous fall colors. Even fading, the lilies provide visual interest.
Cherries backed by a colorful maple.
A chipmunk in the bird feeding area.
Dusty Miller and a petunia. The color is pretty much true, though perhaps a little too vibrant on the fuchsia.
I can't remember their name -- osteospermum? Lovely, whatever they are.
A hydrangea, touched by frost.
