my favorite season

Looking at these flowers just make me want to smile from ear to ear! Spring is in the air and I feel so happy :)



More photos to come from this little garden photo session. I had the most peaceful time just photographing - nothing relaxes me more than that. I have some images from the same garden taken during the winter time - will blog those soon (where did the time go??? Spring came so quickly!). A collage of spring photos from last year can be found here.

Scenes from a nearby community garden during last spring - all taken at the same place on the same day! The variety of plants there was amazing. Now waiting for autumn scenes to come...

the getty center | out & about in LA

We love museum tours - did the garden tour and the exhibition tour on The Spectacular Art of Jean Leon Gerome. Fun day, but so much to see in one day. Will have to go back.


So many lovely outdoor seating areas.



The garden was designed by Robert Iwrin. Names he engraved on the rock: Anna Grace (his daughter) + Adele (his wife) .



Buildings designed by Richard Meier, based on an architectural grid of 30-inch squares.

A maze of azalea plants, supposedly really beautiful during the flowering season.







Garden Terrace Cafe. I love the wide, open feel of the cafe.









On the left, looks like only one tree, but if you just take one step on either side, you will see that it is actually a line of trees. I thought that was pretty cool =)



Photo of me, taken by hubby. Hope you guys enjoyed the photos!
