* Walking in the Huntington Library (Gardens) started in 1919 by a wealthy business man and railroad company and other real estate holdings in CA, named Henry E. Huntington.
In a lane full of Camelia trees,
here one in early bloom
my second favorite flower
also the most extensive rose garden
with a tea room and cafe,
A Japanese, and Chinese garden with a small restaurant,
an Australian, Palm, and Jungle garden, etc.

One of my favorite places to take pics.
Today hubby tried out his new Rebel T4i
you understand, since his camera has 18 megapixels,
and I only 8, he has to share it:):)
two rows of statues
this one playing the banjo (?)
January is the month of our anniversary
there was a lot of music
in our marriage
These ducks make me smile
two ducks but each so very different
the gardens close at 4:30 pm, and since we came at 1:30,
we weren't done yet!
the desert gardens are phenomenal
seem to be always filled with flowers
low light and long shadows made this corner
with rocks almost an unnatural white
and the bottom of the water so green
more challenging,
since I like to stick with
colors true to the scene.
Can't wait to go there again!
This is what I call a quiet demure sunset
ending a perfect day
tip toeing into the night

Super shots! I really like your banner pic of the boat.
Till today, i was able to walk and enjoy - it is finaly getting too cold for me for awhile! Glad you have such colot and temperature to walk in!
Lovely images, the flowers in the next to last shot are pretty. They remind me of the Hot Poker Plants?
Thanks for sharing, have a happy week!
Wonderful sculpture.

I like the complex pattern of the lines and the colour scheme of muted green against orange. Beautiful! Thank you for sharing it on Mandarin Orange Monday:)
Une promenade très romantique...
Pierre
Love the colours in your photos.I think that instrument is called a lyre.
great shot of the little pond. :)
Great attention to detail in that statue! The folds of the garments is fascinating! And I'm not really sure what the statue is playing! Intriguing!
What a beautiful spot to take photos! I have a new T4i, too, and love it.

Sounds like a lovely place. The pair of ducks is cute.
Liz,Tthank you -have a wonderful week!
Chubskulit,
Thank you and also for visiting!
Stephanie, Thank you! capturing the boat was a joint venture. I saw it, but needed hubby's height to get more of a top view:)
Brite Mist,
Thanks for stopping by here -I believe it was in the 60ties.
Eileen,
Oh you're asking the wrong person. I only know roses and camellias:):)
Gary,
Thanks so much, friend! Have a great week.
Jim,
thanks so much, and also for coming by!
Carol,
Thank you! When beautiful things are in front of me, all I have to do is click, click:)
Lorik,
I KNOW you would transform this pic for your meme, but I was in a hurry:)
Pierre,
Romantic it is, Pierre! Thanks for visiting me:)
Fun60,
I don't think I've ever heard a lyre, so I must google to see the difference with a banjo.
Monika (Nature),
They have little and big ponds featuring waterlilies.
Gemma,
Love these kind of sculptures, whimsical, but still with lots of skill sculpted!
Leslie,
I am stunned by the sharpness - now my photos look almost blurry!
Roger,
Me too, I love these kinds of sculptures -fit so well with the flowers!
Bettyl,
Thank you! They don't have many ducks at the Huntington:)
The Red Hot Pokers are gorgeous--they stand out so beautifully. What would gardens be without sculpture.

The Huntington is one of my favorite places in the Southland...I used to live in Glendale and was a member for many years!!!
Nice post for SWF!

Visiting from Orange Friday...Lovely sequence of shots. The Lyre sprung to mind when I saw the statue♫ Here's my Orange effort: http://lmkazmierczak.blogspot.com/2013/01/jeep.html
Your find a nice place to get some inspiration and some great picture, with reflection or without... Nice sharing indeed !
So beautiful photo and nice January walking out. love those camelia.
beautiful sunset
have a nice weekend
Well now I want to go. Thanks for sharing your walk with us!
You had me at "a lane full of Camelia trees." Oh, get out! That sounds too paradisical to contemplate from the depths of winter! :-) What a gorgeous bloom. Is it as fragrant as it is beautiful?
I got a Rebel T4i for my birthday earlier this month. Is your husband as overwhelmed by his as I am by mine??? So much to learn! But what a great camera. Yeah, he totally needs to share. :-)
I as thinking the statue is playing a mandolin. Lyre never occurred to me. I could be mistaken, but I always thought a lyre was larger and had a 90º bend at the top of the fret thingy (don't assume I know what I'm talking about, lol). Now I'm curious which it might be - or none of the above! Whatever it is, I love that statue! How fun would that be serenading you in your garden every day.
I love the ducks, of course, and the beautiful flowers and tranquil water - that last photo makes me want to stick my fingers in that water to feel how warm it is. I love the green color - nice job capturing it!
Happy Anniversary! :-)
Lovely lovely photos,
especially the one of the water and the rocks it is so peaceful.
Thanks so much for linking up with Raindrops and Daisies Green Day
it was lovely having you with us and I hope that you will join in again soon.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend
Fiona (in a very very wet and windy Ireland)!!!!

Happy weekend!
magnifique photo,sbravo !
Thank you for taking us along for the walk Jeanette ..... I love the red camellia.
I really appreciate your style of photography--so clean and attentive to unexpected details. Have always heard of this garden but never visited. Another plus of blogging with photographers--we get to see places we may never see in our time.
All your photos are speacial, but my favorite is your sunset.
Beautiful photos. Visiting late for OYGIF. Hope you'd find time to visit my entry.
The T4i is supposed to be a wonderful camera! I'm glad for you that your husband will share it with you!
You got great set of photos here. I specifically love the sunset photo.
Thanks for this beautiful walk ! Your pictures are excellent !
These are very marvelous photos. The gardens are truly magnificent. Thanks for sharing your walk with us.
Lovely post! What a wonderful garden to visit -- I hope you do go back soon. You ended the day (and this post) with a perfect picture.
so beautiful impression of the beautiful Garden.
the bokeh in the first one is dreamy and I love the sundown picture - very poetic mood.
wish you a lovely weekend,
isabella
Beautiful photos. We are having a big storm. Already shovelled 5" or so... sigh.
Happy to see your non-snowy photos!
Cheers from Cottage Country!
