My niece Ellen paid us a visit last night and today here in Northfield. This morning, she climbed around on Northfield’s famed “spooky old tree” in the Carleton Lower Arb (left) and took photos of wild flowers in the Upper Arb (center). Click photos to enlarge and see more in the album.

We heard some birds chirping and managed to capture them with this 15 second video clip.
