         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons
Sunday, December 20, 2015:  Winter Wonderland at the Northland Arboretum. 
It was also the winter solstice...the shortest day of the year and longest night of the year.
Mark chose a walk through night rather than riding in a car.
 
There are dozens of light exhibits at the Arb....a delight for young and old alike.
 
Well, now we know what or who is chopping down trees!
 
Nice exhibits for God and country.
 
Mark remembers seeing the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor.
He was stationed at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, teaching electronics in the U.S. Army back in the 1960s.
 
Yes, there is are two nice lit tunnels at Winter Wonderland.
 
Thoughtful displays including a good place for young ladies to take selfies.
 
Even Santa likes skiing at the Arb.
 
Then, of course, there were fires to warm up after seeing the displays.
 
Santa spent his time inside at the Arb talking to good little boys and girls.  Lucky guy!
 
It was all over too soon and time to go home.  Those in cars can enjoy what you have seen on this blog plus much more through New Years Eve.
Quote of the day:    The Arb is a great place.   Mark    < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
