Fullerton Arboretum in Full Bloom
I’ve come to understand why some people find joy in coming to the same place over and over. Some enjoy the sense of familiarity. Others may want to relive the special memories made there. At places of nature, whether it be a garden or arboretum, the reason could be as simple as wanting to be one with nature as often as possible. After visiting the Fullerton Arboretum more than once, I’ve come to understand why it’s essential to visit places of nature more than once. It’s because as the season changes, nature itself will change, too. At the Fullerton Arboretum, for example, I saw a bunch of flowers in bloom that I had never seen before and it was such a sight to behold. -
The Children’s Garden
The last two blog posts have been about the Huntington Library. Can you guess what today’s blog post is about? Yup, it’s about the Huntington Library again. This time, I’ll only be talking about the Children’s Garden. -
The Gardens of Huntington Library
Previously, I blogged about the Japanese Garden at the Huntington Library. The thing is that the Japanese Garden isn’t the only garden on the grounds of the Huntington Library. It just happens to be one of the more massive gardens. So, today, I’m going to blog about the other gardens from the Rose Garden to the Desert. -
Huntington Library’s Japanese Garden
The Japanese Garden at the Huntington Libary in San Marino is quite big. Yes, it’s not small like the one at CSULB and definitely far from tiny like the one at Descanso. It wasn’t my first time visiting the Huntington Libary but it’d been some time since I last visited and I must say that time around, I recall I had the opportunity to explore and appreciate Huntington Library’s Japanese Garden. -
“Boston” in SoCal
I had the opportunity to be in “Boston” without actually having to be in Boston. No, I’m not talking about some sister city but an actual island that allows you to transport yourself back into time to experience the historical Midnight Ride. As much as I like history (to an extent), I feel that the Midnight Ride, along with other events from the US colonial era were things I didn’t pay much attention to. I found our history books boring and opted to search for good looking guys and tasteful fashion from historical photographs instead. (I stand my ground that people back then looked better and dressed so much dapper. If someone was good looking then, they truly were good looking. These days, you just never know…)
