    Lightscape before Dark

    Lightscape

    Have you ever wondered what those flashy light events at night look like during the day? Well, I’ve got you covered. I had the opportunity to visit Lightscape at The Arboretum before dark and let’s just say it was interesting.

    Moonlight Forest

    Spending money to attend Moonlight Forest at the Los Angeles County Arboretum was so worth it. Having been to the Los Angeles County Arboretum before, it was quite the experience to see the grounds transformed into something else. If you think you’ll be able to catch glimpses of the grounds during Moonlight Forest, think again. The most you will be able to catch a glimpse of is the somewhat eerie yet beautiful Victorian home when viewing the dragon from afar.

    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.
