The Capital Column at the US National Arboretum
I've always cherished visiting the National Arboretum in spring, but this time, I decided to experience its beauty in fall. As I walked in, I braced myself for the usual sight of brown hues. However, to my astonishment, I was greeted by a breathtaking display of vibrant colors right in front of the Capital Column. It was a delightful surprise!

The National Capitol Columns at The US National Arboretum
The United States National Arboretum is an arboretum in Washington, DC., operated by the United States Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service as a division of the Henry A. Wallace Beltsville Agricultural Research Center. It was established in 1927 by an act of Congress after a campaign by USDA Chief Botanist Frederick Vernon Coville.
It is 446 acres in size, 9 miles of roadways wind through and connect the numerous gardens and collections on the campus.
The National Capitol Columns originally supported the old East Portico of the United States Capitol (1828). The columns were removed during expansion of the Capitol in 1958.
