Arboretum

Arboretum on a rainy first of May, originally uploaded by Michael A. Lowry.

This afternoon I went to Nordiska to tidy up a bit after last night’s fun barbecue. It was rainy and cool out—the rain muffling the noise of an already subdued city. After cleaning, I fixed a bratwurst for lunch, and ate it on the balcony while watching the few sailboats braving the rainy weather on the lake. Then I relaxed a while in the sauna and took a quick dip in the lake. After climbing back out of the water and onto the dock, I stood for a while in the cool rain, just staring out over the water.

I snapped this photo on the walk to the boathouse, in the Arboretum park beside the lake beside the lake.
