Pond at the National Arboretum

A large pond on the grounds of the National Arboretum. Every time we visit there, I marvel at how such an enormous natural area can be located in the heart of the nation’s capital.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Indeed, one might here be in the midst of a wonderful wilderness rather than the city of Washington.

A lovely shot! This looks like a wilderness scene instead of in the city.

When I think of Washington D.C. this is not what I think of. Thank you for expanding my view of this beautiful city. V
