Just got back from spring break. Tons of fun in (mostly) sunny California! Had a great time watching my son play tennis and hanging out at several beaches with the fam and our friend. But one of the best days was when I stole away all by myself to visit the Huntington Gardens in Pasadena. This place is just amazing. Beautiful. Restful. Peaceful. So many lovely places to just relax, read and reflect. I did all of that, but I also took a bunch of pictures. The wisteria in the Japanese garden was stunning. May have gotten a little carried away in the desert garden. There are some strange and incredible plants on this planet! Here’s a little peek!
Ah, gardens…wonderful thing to visit gardens on vacation. I was going to say that there is unexpected beauty everywhere, but the truth is that humans have made many places very ugly indeed. It’s always a joy to find an oasis that people have nurtured and enhanced.
