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. -
Among Greenery
It’s been uncomfortably hot lately and I know it’s only going to get hotter as it gets closer and closer to summer. Fortunately, it seems like we’re going to get some respite for a week or so with cooler weather. The issue, present already, whether it be hot or cool are the mosquitoes.

Peacock Day at the Arboretum
Peacock Day at the Los Angeles County Arboretum felt like Spring. It was sunny and the peacocks were “everywhere” on the grounds. It was highly likely that you’d catch a glimpse of a peacock showing off its spread out feathers in hopes to attract you (lol) and a potential mate! -
Peacocks, Lizards and Coyotes, oh my!
It’s been a while since I last posted something travel related. (Although I’ve been posting, most of the posts fall into a different category.) So, I’m hoping today’s post will be a bit of a treat!Not long ago, I had the opportunity to visit the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden in Arcadia, CA.
It was at this arboretum that I encountered my two firsts. My first first: seeing a peacock in real life as well as hearing it speak for the first time. Second first: encountering a coyote alone. Yes, I really did encounter a coyote… More on it in a bit.
So, it’s safe to say this arboretum is known for its peacocks. These birds are beautiful but they’re loud.

Fullerton Arboretum
Shortly after my trip to the Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden, I decided to visit the Fullerton Arboretum. Considering how disappointed I was with the Japanese Garden’s small size, I found my visit to the arboretum to be a major treat as the arboretum was huge!
