...would not be complete without a stop at the
Adkins Arboretum, in Ridgely, Maryland. On the advice of some close friends we spent a few hours roaming the gentle paths among acres of native plant species. This fellow nonprofit organization demonstrates the beauty and importance of being careful to 'leave what you find' when traveling to new locales. The spread of invasive species can easily disrupt terrestrial or aquatic ecosystems. For those looking for more information on invasive species in your area, try the National Invasive Species Information Center
(NISIC). Here a few shots from our time at the arboretum:
Smelling the flowers...
...a perusing pollinator...
...and reflections in the river.
