I visit The Arboretum at Penn State on my daily walks at lunchtime or after work. It’s one of my favorite places on a campus that is full of scenic and peaceful spots. Over the past few years I have been taking photos of various spots at weekly intervals. Below are some of my images through the four seasons.

The Secret Life of Public Spaces

See the University Dance Company on Friday and Saturday nights this weekend. They will be performing outdoors at The Arboretum at Penn State at 7 p.m. both evenings. A show for kids will be at 6 p.m. on Saturday. It’s part of theThe Secret Life of Public Spaces project.

The Arboretum is a beautiful location for modern dance. If you are not familiar with modern dance and haven’t been to the Arboretum yet, go. It combines two favorites of mine. You’ll see why.
