STL DPB ON THE ROAD - THE HUNTINGTON

Metro Los Angeles is so vast there are many areas we have not visited before. Northeast of the city center near Pasadena is The Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens, a 120 acre / 49 hectare opulent estate that I think had something to do with railroad money. Opulent is too weak a word. https://www.huntington.org/ They have a Gutenberg Bible, Gainsboroughs out to here and overwhelming gardens. I'm getting too old for all the up and down steep hillsides so we couldn't get to all of it. However, just the rose garden could occupy a photographer for a long time.               

HERE COMES THE SUN

Since as usual there is nothing going on around here, I went to our gorgeous botanical garden on Sunday to get some exercise and images. They have a bunch of Chihuly glass around the place, this one on a side of the rose garden. (I was standing underneath its twin on the opposite side.) It looks like it needs a haircut worse than I do in these no-close-contact times.  These could be solar rays or a punk rocker's yellow died hair.

I didn't know it before but the garden takes these glass tubes out for the winter. Freezing temps could damage them.
