A trip to the Arboritum

Today the weather was fine, and seeing as how I'm between jobs I thought I would take my little 'un to the arboretum. My hopes were that she would see real turtles and beavers in their natural habitat. And while we didn't actually see any beavers beavering, we did see beaver dams and ducks and big turtles and ants and geese. She also got to learn about blackberry brambles and nettles...though she managed to stir clear of business end of both.
Here are some highlights:
