Yesterday, based on a great tip from another blogger at FrenchGardenHouse, my wife and I visited for the first time the Huntington Library Botanic Gardens, over near Pasadena.
One word – WOW! It’s a huge complex with a Cactus Garden, a Japanese Garden, a Chinese Garden, a Lily Pond Garden, and indoor Rain Forest Garden, an Herb Garden, a Rose Garden – and much more. It’s $20 per adult to get in (well worth it in my opinion), or you can buy a 2-adult membership for $100 per year. It’s open 10:30-4:30 (that’s the only downside, not the best lighting for photography).We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and highly recommend it for anyone local here in LA or anyone planning a trip.
Meantime, I’ll be posting some new pics from the garden here, on my site, and on some of my other pages as well. Keep an eye out for some exotic flowers, cactus, lotus, and more. Thanks again for the awesome tip!

Hi Paul,
Thanks for stopping by.
The books are a wonderful read.
I see you are in MDR. When I first moved to Ca in 1975 (ouch), I lived in Marina Del Rey. Is Boys Market still there?
Take care,
Barb
I look forward to your pics of the garden. I'm sure they will be beautiful. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving your nice comment. I hope you do show your wife the tatting.
Great blog! and thanks for stopping by my house in the roses; it's a pleasure meeting you.

Botanical subjects are probably my favorite thing to photograph! Can't wait to see this world through your eyes.
I will check back.
Thank you so much for stopping by and for your comments. Look forward to seeing pictures of the Botanical gardens. I find plants are so inpiring.
Thanks for the visit! The faux treats are fun! The problem is they make you want to buy baked goods. :-(
I'll have to keep an eye on your blog...I do enjoy photography.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and the compliment on my lil princess photo!
Your photography is amazing. I look foward to seeing more.

Sorry, I'm a bit late to thank you for visiting my blog and leaving me such nice compliments. I was surprised, you know, my pictures have merely one goal and that is to show what I'm talking about. I don't do the closer-closest up that is now sooo en vogue in blogland, so I was quite surprised that you made me a compliment.
What I do like is to make pictures and giving them a title that is a tad unexpected. In Miami I took a pic of three marine men and I wrote as an underline: Americans like to dress the same. I'm off to see your pics! Thanks again!
Thanks for stopping by Timeoutforme. You are quite a talent! I'm ashamed of my icky pictures on my blog..
