Photo of the Day: Wizard of Oz in New Jersey?

I took this photo of Davies Arboretum in Demarest, NJ this past spring. But I didn’t notice the references to The Wizard of Oz until just now, when I noticed the other intriguing figures around the Scarecrow.

Photo of the Day: Davies Arboretum and Wildlife Preserve, Demarest NJ

This past Sunday, while driving from another site, I passed this 18-acre site a few miles from where I live in Bergen County, NJ. Davies Arboretum and Wildlife Preserve was begun in 1977 on land purchased with Green Acres funds. Included on the site are the low-maintenance flowering trees, shrubs, and other plantings.

I took this picture of a bird house a few weeks ago while visiting Thielke Arboretum in Glen Rock, N.J., not far from where I live in Bergen County.

Photo of the Day: Fall, Before It Goes

I took the accompanying photo a week ago yesterday while in Thielke Arboretum in Glen Rock, N.J., not far from my Bergen County home.  At this point, following a weekend of rather heavy winds, I would be very surprised if many—indeed, any—of the leaves here will still be standing on Saturday—December 1, for those keeping track of those things.
