LA Arboretum Again, by George!

After visiting my first home, we were literally right around the corner from the Arboretum.  So remembering George's surprise at our not visiting Tallac Knoll, we figured we should check it out one more time.  And this time ... more pictures!

And yes, as George suggested, we made the trek up to Tallac Knoll.  Given that the water is currently gone from Baldwin Lake, it's nice to see the ponds and the waterfall from this high point in the Arboretum.

There was still more to see, but it was just too hot for us to visit all the areas.  See we headed back and got to visit the peacocks one more time.  They are amazing!

Thanks, George, for the initial suggestion to visit the Arboretum, followed by the encouragement to see more of it.  Looks like we still have some more to see on a future visit!
