Cherry Blossoms, i

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.

A Scattering of Petals

A morning spent – well spent – in one of my favorite places in L.A.:  The Huntington Gardens.  Spring is in evidence everywhere, flowers and trees in bloom, and everyone out enjoying a cold, sunny day after days of rain.
