Christmas Greenery

As part of my annual trip to see the state Christmas trees with my friend, we also go to the U.S. Botanic Garden, so tonight I thought I’d share some photos from that.

Here’s a tree in the outdoor conservatory.

The theme this year is pollinators, so here are a couple of ornaments from the trees inside. First, a winged insect.

You know I had to find a bird.

The poinsettias in front of the sculpture of the Capitol were lovely.

Unfortunately, while we were there, we ran into Donald, J.D., and Elon, but we didn’t let that ruin our day.

Such pricks, those three.
