It was a great day at the Bonsai and Penjing museum. I did get some sunburn but the weather was great and I took about a million photos with lots of close up detail shots. Could not have asked for a better day - and yes you were right, everything running downtown was blocked off but we went via 395 up to hwy 50 and had no trouble. Except at first I thought the entrance to the Arboretum was closed - they only had most of the lane blocked off but we managed to squeeze past and get in. I'll be happy to post some photos on my own thread of some of my favorites this weekend once I'm not so tired. There were a number of notable trees that were not out that I looked for but everything looked great.
