Free expression tunnel

A little bit further down the road from the arboretum, is the "Free expression tunnel" at NC-State Campus.



Had been planning to go there for a while now. Grafiti is alowed here! As you can see....



Would love to do photosessions here. Great background!

Wisteria

Today I went to the J.C. Raulston arboretum at NC state University in Raleigh. And among many blooming flowers and beautiful blossom, the Wisteria was the eyecatcher for me.



Such an impressive flower. The color of it is so intense.....

Tulip time

The lively flower, which will continue to grow, even in your vase.

Spring & Blossom

Ain't nature at its best in Spring?

Paperwhites

The white flowers of the paperwhites, make me think of spring!


Sure enough, today's NC temperatures are helping enormously!

Serene Elegance

I really like the serene look of a swan. The elegance ....



It looks like the water around it even notices that and stays calm and tranquil too.

Washington DC in color

The National Mall is under extreme construction at the moment. So no beautiful reflections in the reflection pool to be seen. Or a great landscape picture of all the lines and angles from the Abraham Licoln memorial towards the Capitol building. But.... the old trees on the Mall were untouched and loved how the snow sticked to their branches.


The National Mall


The Canadian geese were still around too....


Prepare for take off

The Capitol, just after sunset.

The colors were just magical. Must have been the cold night and the icy water that made it look like this.
