Trip to the Arboretum on September 30

The day was great, pleasantly stormy. The walk along the path was peaceful. When we arrived at the meadow, it was flowering. The pond was covered in lilies, too. We fed the hungry turtles bread, and they voraciously consumed it. We even caught three turtles: two medium-sized ones and one small one. They were happy to be released after being handled inquisitively and carefully, running with vigor off the jetty.
