The Huntington Gardens
After seeing what The Huntington had to offer, I enthusiastically declare my love of the place! I thoroughly enjoyed what each garden had to offer in lush vegetation and marvelous (Japanese and Chinese) architecture. It’s an ideal place to experience natural & cultural beauty and variety.
Three hours in and we still had to rush to get to the art gallery before closing time.
“Luxurious feast awaits”
I can’t say enough about the beautiful art collection they have at the Huntington, timeless and extraordinary works of art. Also, it’s always interesting reading the story or history behind a painting if there is one.
The bamboo forest was one of my favorite stops; I envisioned a romantic Chinese movie being filmed here, I being the heroine of course!
I guess he could substitute as my hero. =)
We didn’t have time to spare for the rose garden but as we walked by I was intrigued by this statue. I love how the picture turned out, it has a romantic and divine feel to it.
They call this the Garden of Flowering Fragrance.
I have a fascination with lily ponds so to those who share my interest, enjoy the next few pics!
I recommend everyone to go visit The Huntington, it’s a maze (and a bit of a hike) full of wonderment.
