brook day

it was day three in the hot series of june 08...
but we really enjoyed it, we took the opportunity to explore and play in one of the brooks at the arnold arboretum. together with our friends, cooling of was nice. running and jumping in the very low water. because it is still early summer there was some water and it was really cool.
even i put my feet in and enjoyed it. as you can see from the first photo, we were surrounded by rhododendron, it was lovely. and the bigger hemlock provided a wonderful shady canopy for us to sit and be.
this was today, tomorrow is an other hot day, maybe library, maybe sprinkler park, ice creme parlor, or an other few hours at a brook? we will see...
