Washington is alive with color and much of it is at the
United States National Arboretum. Today I attended a class on winterizing bonsai and had an opportunity to go behind the scenes (on the other side of those doors marked "STAFF ONLY") at the
National Bonsai and Penjing Museum and enjoyed a walk around the grounds.

My lesson for the day: take advantage of opportunities to learn and you will be richly rewarded. Not only was the class interesting, but I got there in record time, had a fantastic parking place (no small feat on a busy Saturday) and the fall colors were amazing --from the tiniest bonsai to the japanese maples and the groves of maples, oaks, sycamore and more. What a gift, what a day!
