Mercer Arboretum Photos (5-4-08)


On Sunday May 4th, we travelled 45 miles north of home to Humble, TX where the Mercer Arboretum resides. It's a Harris county park and is free admission. We had a great time, but we arboretum is smaller than the online map makes it out to be. Enjoy the pictures of the flowers.
