Sunday, after cinnamon rolls for breakfast, we headed out to explore the Mt. Pisgah Arboretum. It was an overcast day and so was a little cooler than it has been lately and perfect for walking around the arboretum. There are lots of little paths that crisscross the area and we enjoyed wandering around and looking at all the plants, animals, and water.
They had a little wetlands exhibit set up, so we explored that.
There was a bridge over a pond area with lots of lily pads and frogs; there are at least three frogs hanging out in the picture below.
Soon we left the woody area and found ourselves in a large meadow filled with tall grasses and oak trees.
We found some great snakes along the trail. There were also a lot of pretty flowers.
After walking around the arboretum for awhile, we drove a short distance down the road to an area with lots of blackberries to pick more berries.
Once again, there were more green berries than black ones, but the ones that were ripe were plumb and juicy; I think it's going to be a good year for blackberries.
