Coastal Maine Botanical Garden – Lady Slippers
I also don’t remember there being that many lady slippers about. They were everywhere – even in the parking lot. That was lovely to see. The yellow and white flowers are from a planted bed in the wildflower garden, but all the pinks are from various locations around the Garden.

Coastal Maine Botanical Garden – Trilliums
The last time I saw forest wildflowers at the CMBG was before the Children’s Garden had come into existence, so I was very surprised and pleased to run into the trillium bed in the back corner of the Children’s Garden. All of these pictures are from there, except the last shot, which is

McLaughlin Garden – South Paris, ME
We managed to make it to the McLaughlin Garden just in time for their Lilac Festival. There were also tons of wildflowers – this is definitely a garden that shines in Spring.

Fort Baldwin State Park -Phippsburg, ME
Last weekend’s ramble was up to the Bath area, where we tracked down the last state park on those peninsulas we hadn’t been to yet. Amusingly, it’s actually really close to Fort Popham (you can actually see that to the right in the second to last picture), but it’s down a one lane road

Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park – Felton, California
Let’s face it, my camera couldn’t possibly do justice to these beauties, but it doesn’t mean I sure didn’t try! Henry Cowell is quite close to Santa Cruz (we’d actually intended to do it the same day as Wilder Ranch, but ran out of daylight when we were side tracked by downtown). It has a

Wilder Ranch State Park – Santa Cruz, California
The day after Christmas, we decided to get some Pacific Ocean into the mix. Our original plan had been Ano Nuevo State Park, which has a colony of elephant seals. Because it’s breeding season, you have to go on a guided tour, and because we weren’t sure of the weather, by the time we could

San Francisco, California
I really enjoyed San Francisco, even though we didn’t get to do as much of it as we could have hoped, and even if the traffic getting out of there was probably worse than Boston. Because we started out the morning at Tartine, we wondered around the Mission District, which was architecturally really cool, and

It’s a White Thanksgiving!
So we had a nor’easter Wednesday night into very early Thursday morning. Really heavy, wet stuff. So pretty much anything that still had leaves was broken, or flattened. (Like our neighbor’s front yard hedges. I’ve never seen anything like that over there before.) So I am thankful that we had power for this year’s low
