    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.
