A Day in my Life... #ulog 50

Today we decided to get out of town and take a drive down to Pasadena and visit the Huntington Gardens.

It's been a while since I've been out of town so it was nice to take a little trip down south.

It was a beautiful warm day there, and there was this interesting looking metal building. I walked by it to check it out and there were people inside relaxing on benches and strange sounds were coming from inside.

It being a garden, (actually several very large gardens) there were a lot of beautiful plants and flowers. Of course my favorite are the camellias and there is a very large collection there. My favorite are the white ones because back at home I usually only see red or pink ones, and occasionally pink and white striped ones.

There was also this really cool head sculpture sitting in the middle of a plant bed. It wasn't there last time I visited so I was really surprised to see it! It's been a long time since I last visited, probably 4-5 years ago.

This tropical plant really intrigued me. It had a growth like for seeds or some kind of fruit but it looked like some kind of wooden ear of corn 🌽. Really cool!

In the same area in the tropical greenhouse, there was delightful rotted stump with moss and ferns growing in and around it. Living in a desert, this is a really appealing scene to me and I would love to live in a place with this kind of climate.

This final shot is of the big moon bridge in the Japanese garden. It's a really nice park-like area and there were actually several groups of people with blankets around on the lawn relaxing and enjoying the ambiance.

Until next time...
