Weekly Outing – Wilbur D. May Arboretum

Posted on 08/09/2020 by Andrew Reynolds

We’ve been very busy week, but we did make it out for weekly outing.  This week we went to the Rancho San Rafael Regional Park and took a walk around the Wilbur D. May Arboretum.  Here are some pictures:

The entrance to the arboretum. The big sign saying “arboretum” was a big help in locating the arboretum.
One of the many bridges.
Arboretums have lots of trees.
Not sure what kind of tree this is, but you could see it from many places along the paths.
All this needs is a brass band and lemonade to make the scene complete.
A closeup of Herman’s pond. My shadow decided to do a little photo bombing.
A duck. I don’t think this was Herman.
Herman’s pond is down there.
Looking from the Irwin Overlook into Rancho San Rafael Regional Park. Hard to see in the picture, but there is a dog park out there.

It was a great morning out and we stopped at a great coffee shop for some fancy coffee and a sinful desert but I failed to get any pictures of that.  Yes, I just ate it too fast.

Hopefully I get back into a regular posting routine soon as we finish working through all the details of moving.

    How lovely! And the fancy coffee and sinful dessert sound like a perfect way to end the trip.

    You’re right, that’s not Herman, but it might be Herman’s wife.
    Looks like a great place for a visit!

    Looks like a lovely outing. And if it was topped off with a sinful dessert, well, it doesn’t get much better than that! 🙂

      There weren’t many people out and I do try to avoid taking pictures of people I don’t know. We’ve been trying to plan these outings during off peak hours and this day seemed to be the slow day.
