THE PARKING LOT OF HUNTINGTON GARDENS

HUNTINGTON PARKING LOT

Lately I’ve been hanging out lots at Huntington Gardens, mainly because I scored treasured readership privileges at their Library. It’s a lovely place to write as everyone is intent on their work, and the grounds…Lord God, the beauty.

One recent morning I went to 8:15 Mass at Sts. Felicitas and Perpetua, then motored on over. Before going in, I parked at the far end of the lot and sat in my car savoring an almond croissant and listening to the birds.

This is some of what I gazed out over from my humble perch.

Tree, ever at the centre
Of whatever it surrounds.

  1. I was there just last week to see the Reformation exhibit. Beautiful photos from a beautiful writer.

    1. Hey Karin! I haven't checked out the Reformation exhibit yet but did a quick tour around "Visual Voyages" yesterday after working for a bit in the library–pretty spectacular.

  2. THAT IS A BLUE OF SKY THAT i WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO SEE IN THE GRAY FALL HERE ON THE EAST COAST

    1. I had the camera set to "Vivid" so the blue is even bluer than blue–nonetheless, yeah, the sky here can be pretty breathtaking–all year round!…
