Buildings with ivy and plants climbing over their walls always fascinated me. Haunted castles, romantic villas . . . certainly far from my quoitidian life!
With unusual weather throughout the world, and a lot of rain, I was lucky to be in L.A. visiting a friend. We made a deliberate trip to Lake Balboa to walk around and check out the cherry blossoms. We were not disappointed. Some of the trees were just coming into bloom, others were in full glory.
