October 2019 - Arnold Arboretum, Boston - Title: Tree Play

The next 20 images are collages shot at the Arnold Arboretum in Boston between October 2019 and August 2020. They appear as a digital show "A Walk in the Arboretum" April 29-July 18, 2021.
The pandemic impacted my images as it impacted all of our lives.
A digital sequence was not my intention for this exhibition. My plan was to hang large color prints of 5 park locations. This would not have worked digitally so when I was offered a time slot for this show I went with plan B -- a sequence of whatever images I could finish from the Arboretum. The arc of the pandemic then became part of my show.
"Tree Play" above was from my first pre-pandemic visit. Visitors were enjoying the fall colors, walking, playing, or simply relaxing along the pathways. I spoke with a dog walker and retrieved a frisbee (somewhat pathetically). It was a day in the park, and what a park.
This particular tree was a magnet for visitors.
