Late Fall at Huntington Gardens

Close to Pasadena where we both work, there is a breathtakingly beautiful place called Huntington Gardens.  We went there recently to enjoy natural beauty and to give me a chance to satisfy my artistic photographic yearnings.  We hope to return multiple times--we barely scratched the surface of what is available in this Edenic place. I thought I would share this first installment with you.  Hope you enjoy these!
