From January until April and beyond, now is the time when some of the most spectacular scenery can be photographed, videoed and enjoyed. Although posed photography requires a paid permit, scenery and wildlife photography does not. There are few places like the Arboretum that have great shots to take just about all year long, so break in your Christmas camera here; I did.
