My Favorite Tree


                               

At the far east end of the Lake Harriet Rose Garden grounds is my favorite tree. Forty plus years ago I started bringing the family dog, Willie, to the Rose Garden. After clomping around we'd sit on the bench under this tree. There are a lot of fond memories in the place. I also brought Sophie and Athena here much less frequently.

Stopped by the Lake Harriet Rose Garden today. Many of the trees are turning color. 

                                 

  
The fountains are covered up. 





Some flowers are still blooming.
