This was at another pond in the arboretum. It's a dead piece of a palm tree that had fallen in the water. I thought it made an interesting shot against the beautiful blue reflection of the sky in the water.

Lovely watery shots. It DOES pay to go off the road less traveled.
Today I passed by the East River and thought about Watery Wednesday. Alas, I didn't have my camera with me.

Haven't been to the Arboretum in ages. Your photos make me want to go soon. Love the second one.
Lovely photos (as usual!) In the first photo one gets a real feeling of serenity.
I agree that it's fun to leave the main path...as long as it's allowed. Beautiful!
both are beautiful shots, but I especially like the first shot,

Such peaceful shots.
Both pictures are great, but I especially like the first one. It's a great reason to take the road (or path) less traveled.
Beautiful pictures - not following the path pays off very often!
Are you sure the first one isn't a painting? ;-) Truly beautiful, wouldn't imagine that in LA. Breathtaking.
Both are amazingly beautiful. I wish I have them on my wall.
Gorgeous! I especially like the fallen palm - it is beautiful against that blue and the reflections are nice.
You always have a nice shot for watery wednesday. Thank you so much for your wonderful blog. It really encourage me. God bless!
At first glance I thought the second shot was a gator. Well I am rather sleepy. lol. Beautiful shots!
That first shot is absolutely incredible, I love it.
Cheers!

That first shot sure has a dreamy look to it. The second one is most interesting. Had I not read your description, I might not have figured out exactly what it was!

awesome shots!
These are 2 brilliant shots TB. Really love them.
awesome place, very peaceful and super clean.
Again, these are wonderful pictures !
Have a nice day !
I love roads less travelled! They can be so fascinating! And your photos prove what secret beauties may be found! Stunning photos!
The first shot looks like a paradise to me!
Definitely go on the road less traveled!
The first one is so peaceful. I love all the colors of green captured.
What a beautiful place to visit <3
Good advice and beautiful shots!!
Both images are lovely but second one has that lovely quality of contrasts. Both in colour and texture. Love it.
Sound advice about side roads in general. Many a lovely view has opened up to me just by turning the car front towards the unknown little side road just to see where it takes me.
Lovely shots but the first is so beautiful, tranquil.
Thanks for your visit to my blog too.

Beautiful water shots!
Great water shots. I enjoy taking the untraveled paths. Many times there is something interesting to be discovered.
The first photo is beautiful! The second isn't beautiful, but certianly interesting and eye catching! (I thought it was a piece of plastic drain pipe.) Both catch the eye and hold it!
Arboretums are such special places in our world. You've discovered a beautiful place.
The palm looks like an animal.
Great captures as usual.
Thanks for the photo lesson below. Don't have photoshop but think gimp might work that way.
Perfectly calm water ... and mirror.
Beautiful shots!
Wonderful photos! The first one is another of those serene places that I would love to linger, while the second is more informational. I had not thought that palm trees were hollow!
I also love the leave that you put in the Watery Wednesday page.
Thanks for sharing! And for creating the meme!
If that's the "lagoon" on the back, west side of the Arboretum, that was the one my old high school bus stop was next to...over by Old Ranch Road! Thanks for the memories! LOVE your music! I wanna dance!
