Newport Flora

My my my, it has been quite a while hasn't it? My apologies--things have just been so hectic lately and I've not been feeling inspired to blog. But despair not! I haven't given up blogging! And in fact, I have some new pictures!

So I went to Newport, Rhode Island with my friend yesterday--let me just say, it is the perfect little college town. As much as I enjoy Connecticut College's arboretum, downtown New London is a little inaccessible and campus is kind of removed from civilization. Newport, however, was such a cute little place full of shops, attractions, and friendly people. I saw many many plants and, of course, took pictures of them, like the tourist that I was. Sadly I cannot tell you the name of these plants, but they were lovely nonetheless!

These were hanging from every lamp-post!

Some lamp-posts had flowers creeping up too!

Even the storefronts had flowers!

Cute little white flowers

Cute little magenta flowers


Most of these are flowers, whoops, but there were a lot of autumnal trees on the way there. Though, come to think of it, the trees were in a state of perpetual summer over in Newport or something--I don't recall seeing much leaves changing color and the trees were definitely not evergreens. Ah well, the weather was lovely yesterday. I would so love to go back!

Well, that is all for now! Hopefully, you can expect an update sometime soon! Until next time!
